  • Tone/posturing management (dystonia can cause pain and injury). 
  • Total assistance with all activities of daily living.
  • Close monitoring for complications (infection, respiratory issues, nutrition). 
  • Given the weight (~70 lbs) and bedridden status, there’s also a high risk of skin breakdown, contractures, and respiratory complications , so consistent, trained care is critical.
