About this course
In this live interactive webinar, we will delve into the pressing issue of balance and falls in the aging population, particularly among baby boomers. With the goal of reducing fall risk and promoting safety, we will explore the physiological aspects of balance and identify the components of steadiness that may deteriorate over time. By understanding the preventable risk factors for falls, we can develop effective strategies to mitigate these risks.
One crucial aspect we will address is the efficient identification of individuals most at risk for falls. We will learn specific tests and measures that have been proven to accurately document balance deficits. These tools are not only easy to implement but also cost-effective, making them accessible across various clinical settings. By incorporating these tests into our practice, we can confidently design balance-building care plans that promote function, enhance balance, and ultimately reduce falls in our aging population.
Throughout the webinar, we will share evidence-based strategies to identify individuals at risk for falls and develop programs that yield measurable improvements in balance. By adopting these proven approaches, we can effectively address the needs of our booming aging population and anyone else susceptible to falls. Join us to gain valuable insights and actionable knowledge to enhance the well-being and safety of individuals affected by balance issues.
