Additional Information

According to the National Institute of Health, frailty in older adults is the leading cause of disability, hospitalization,and mortality. Conditions most often associated with frailty include cardiovascular disease, cancer, chronic respiratory disease, Alzheimer's and infectious disease. Additionally, numerous studies now suggest that sarcopenia (age related loss of muscle mass) is identified as a leading cause of frailty.In fact, sarcopenia is increasingly observed as a disease among pathologists. For rehabilitation therapists, frailty often presents challenges as these patients tend to rehab slowly, have limited participation, and meager outcomes. This can lead to reimbursement problems and hospital readmissions. However, resistive exercise, participation in activities of dailyliving, and cognitive stimulation is the best treatment regimen for frailty. Therefore, rehabilitation therapists are charged with problem-solving ways to motivate and advocate for this vulnerable patient population.

This timely course will equip you with the tools needed for effective assessment, goal writing, and treatment of low-level patients to ensure that their delicate needs are met. Learn quick and easy standardized tests and measures to ascertain an objective analysis of function. Build your library of treatment protocols to motivate your patients, maximizetherapy participation, and improve outcomes. Return to work confident in your skills to treat frail or cognitively impaired patients with the satisfaction of making a difference.
