CNESST work hardening program

You are starting a "work-hardening program" with a 54 year old male on CNESST at the clinic where you work. This client's occupation is delivering mail, so you have determined he will need to participate in a walking program to prepare him for an eventual return to work.

His admitting diagnosis was a lumbar strain following a slip and fall on ice. Comorbidities include obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, pre-diabetes (family hx of heart disease)
