During this lecture, the presenter will review current research, screenings, treatment, and management of fall prevention/balance in elderly patients. In addition, steps will be reviewed to help elderly patients limit their risks of falling.
Objectives:
1) Learners will be able to describe methods to help assess older patients’ balance, muscle strength, and reaction time.
2) Learners will view methods for improving balance, muscle strength, and reaction time for patients.
3) Learners will be able to list tools that can be used to assess improvement in balance, muscle strength, and reaction time in patients.
4) Learners will be able to find lists of ancillary services and therapies that can be prescribed to reduce fall risks.
5) Learners will practice using the methods learned to assess older patients’ balance, muscle strength, and reaction time on themselves during the presentation so they know how to assess these abilities.
6) Learners will watch the faculty member describe and demonstrate effective methods for communicating with their older patients about methods for improving balance, muscle strength, and reaction time.
7) Learners will practice assessing improvement in balance, muscle strength, and reaction time by using case study baseline initial assessment scores and comparing them to their own current assessment results.
8) Learners will be able to demonstrate to older patients effective methods for improving balance, muscle strength, and reaction time.
9) Learners will decrease falls in older patients, which leads to decreased severity of complications caused by falls.
