Price:$99.99

Additional Information

Balance and fall risk evaluation is a vital part of physical and occupational therapy for geriatric patients. The statistics for falls are overwhelming in this population, as more than one in four adults aged 65 years and older falls every year. Falls commonly lead to a loss of independence and negative impacts on quality of life and mobility. All older adults should be evaluated for fall risk. This course will discuss the statistics related to falls. Upon completion of the course, clinicians will recognize various outcome measures and be able to use and interpret the results of these to determine fall risk. Through case examples, therapists will be able to write goals and justify insurance reimbursement for patients at risk for falls. Help recognize and lower fall risk in your patients andbecome your area's go-to provider for fall prevention.

Highlights

  • Increase awareness regarding falls and risk factors for falls in your patients
  • Recognize intrinsic and extrinsic fall risk factors in your patients and make recommendations on home modifications to improve safety and reduce fall risk
  • Integrate standardized outcome assessments available to determine fall risk in various populations

Target Audience: Physical Therapists, Physical Therapist Assistants, Occupational Therapists, Occupational Therapy Assistants
