Modules - Mobility Decline Prevention ARM CURLS AND RAISES During one session per day, CNAs should prompt participating residents to repeat either arm curls or arm raises. This upper body resistance training is usually best accomplished while the resident is in bed. Thus, CNAs should encourage residents to do these exercises either before or after incontinence care and the other exercises are completed. Arm curls or raises can be done during any of the day's four sessions. We recommend that CNAs gently prompt each resident during the first session and at each subsequent session in turn until the resident completes the exercise. (prev | next)
