CPI Exercise Modifications & Progressions 3

Question 1

A CPI technique exercise should be modified to a seated position primarily when:

Accepted Answer

The participant uses a wheelchair or has a lower-body mobility impairment

Answer

Seated modifications are designed to maintain technique effectiveness for participants who use mobility devices or cannot safely stand.

Question 2

The concept of 'regression' in CPI exercise progressions refers to:

Accepted Answer

Moving back to a simpler version of a skill when a participant is struggling

Answer

Regression is a supportive teaching tool that returns a participant to an earlier, more manageable skill level to rebuild confidence and competence.

Question 3

When modifying CPI hold techniques for a smaller-statured staff member working with larger individuals, the trainer should emphasize:

Accepted Answer

Leveraging body mechanics, positioning, and teamwork rather than strength

Answer

Proper body mechanics and positioning compensate for size differences, making techniques safer and more effective regardless of relative stature.

Question 4

In CPI training, 'fading support' during skill progressions means:

Accepted Answer

Gradually reducing trainer assistance as participant competence increases

Answer

Fading support is a scaffolding technique where trainer guidance is systematically reduced as the participant demonstrates increasing mastery.

Question 5

A participant discloses a heart condition before CPI physical training. The FIRST action the trainer should take is:

Accepted Answer

Consult the participant's disclosed limitations and seek medical guidance before proceeding with physical exercises

Answer

Medical conditions require professional guidance to ensure safe participation; proceeding without such guidance exposes both participant and organization to risk.
