A 34-year-old patient is referred for physical therapy after surgery to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). A component of the rehabilitation program prescribed for this patient is core stability training using a therapeutic ball. Since the patient is unfamiliar with therapeutic ball exercises, the therapist will have to introduce them. How is that best accomplished? Should the therapist use verbal instructions to introduce the exercises? Should he demonstrate them? What must he consider in order to ensure the skills are presented most effectively? If you were the therapist in the story above, what technique or combination of techniques would you use to teach the patient therapeutic ball exercises? Explain your answer. *create as an infographic or a flyer*
