Geriatric Rehab (Morgan - Live Interactive Webinar)

Course overview

The population of older adults in the United States continues to grow, but many of those adults are staying active well into their 80s. Studies show that an active lifestyle can slow the normal age-related changes that older adults frequently experience. Reducing fall risk and improving functional independence are essential roles of the home health therapist. Stay current with effective treatment approaches to improve outcomes and your patients quality of life. This course will explain that while no longer playing football, the geriatric athlete can be viewed through a sports medicine lens. Clinicians just need to understand the sport. This practical one-day course will provide easy to implement therapeutic exercises and interventions in order to yield optimal outcomes. Participants will learn through the use of lab techniques, case studies, and problem-based learning strategies. Clinicians will return to their clinics or patients homes with new ways to progress patients and improve long-term adherence to exercise programs.
