Session One is over.

The AFIT is a test for optimal aging.

Wouldn’t it be great to use a performance-based functional assessment tool to evaluate the key aspects of fitness central to optimal aging: posture, flexibility, balance, endurance, and strength? The Adult Functional Independence Test (AFIT) is presented in this session. The measures that comprise the AFIT are supported by research.

You will learn how to perform the assessment and explain the implications to your patients. Walk away with evidence-based exercises for the problems identified and learn how to use them in three case studies.

You will learn in Session 1.

• 15 assessments that comprise the AFIT, determine where patients/clients fit within the norms and cutoffs for these assessments, demonstrate competence in administering these tools, and describe their implications for optimal aging.
• 15 exercises for the remediation of the problems found in the AFIT and identify the evidence for using each exercise to address the specific deficit.
• Appropriate interventions for the problems found on the AFIT.
• Marketing strategies to help inform the medical and general community.
• Motivational techniques to increase exercise adherence.

The second session is Session Two.

There are effective interventions for older adults.

Most clinicians have many treatment protocols they can use to address their patient’s needs. Every day, new information and treatment options are published. Keeping up can feel like a full-time job. In Session 2, you will get the latest treatment research for older adults broken down into the most clinically relevant options for physical and occupational therapists to use when treating older adults who have issues with posture, flexibility, balance, endurance, or strength.
