Physical and Occupational Therapists can help to improve the health care in this country by conducting annual visits that will show adults any physical deficits that can be worked on to keep them healthy. The Adult Functional Independence Test (AFIT) is a head-to-toe evaluation of posture, strength, flexibility, balance and endurance that can be completed in 30 minutes. All the tests are evidence based and are centered on deficits that can be fixed with targeted exercises. Who is better to do this than PT or OTs? This course will go step by step through each test. You will see Dr. Carole Lewis, the test developer, show you how to do the test at least once and then you will try it. (we suggest you take this class with a friend or peer or borrow an unassuming family member who we are sure would love to know how they fare on these tests). After the tests are completed, we will all come back and debrief. After that Dr. Lewis will go over some evidence-based exercises to improve the deficits. And then on to the next test until all 15 tests are done. Then we will see Dr. Lewis in action with a case study and then we will leave it up to you to ask whatever questions you may have on using this AFIT. Do not miss this extremely fun and interactive webinar.
