The Geriatric Rehab Toolbox of Tomorrow: Translating Evidence into Everyday Practice
Copyright :
This session provides specific and realistic intervention strategies to address common impairments in the aging adult, illustrating how to integrate the latest theoretical studies into everyday practice through a series of case progressions. In each case, we will explore how primary impairments and outcome measure results are integrated into the development of the plan of care to progress evidence-based interventions through a variety of settings. Video cases of different patient presentations will focus on aspects of turning and reactive balance training, aerobic conditioning, and strengthening.
