Do you spend too much time figuring out how to document geriatric function with insufficient time to enjoy what you do best: treating patients to maximize their quality of life? How do you choose the best functional exam tools for your patients?

In this recording, you can practice fast and easy assessments for elders that will simplify your documentation process and help guide your treatment planning. The best practices for implementing therapeutic interventions to manage mobility impairments can be reviewed.

Gain skills to maximize function in older adults, from the active sports enthusiast to the resident with multiple medical problems. Design a rehabilitation program for geriatric patients that uses traditional andholistic therapy approaches. Increase function, enhance mobility, and decrease pain with your patients today.

What do you need for this recording?

• Mat or massage table for hands-on practice
• Tape measure and masking tape
• Hand sanitizer and massage lotion
• Blanket and pillow
• Mobile laptop or cell phone with Internet access (Internet/WiFi is not provided)
• Wear comfortable clothing (i.e., sneakers, sweatpants, and t-shirt)

1. List physiological changes associated with aging
2. Select and administer outcome measures to identify functional mobility and balance impairments in elders
3. Apply integrative interventions, including manual therapy, fascial release, joint mobilization, therapeutic exercise, balance and neuromuscular re-education, and functional training to improve functional capacity in elders
4. Identify alternative medicine approaches to improve mobility and balance, to reduce pain, and to improve functional quality of life
5. Design an effective plan of care to produce a measurable difference in mobility, balance, pain and function
6. Practice skilled documentation to show functional change using standardized exams
7. Discuss current evidence regarding the efficacy of specific clinical interventions on functional outcomes in elders.

Functions and balances are assessed in ELDers.

• Balance definitions, systems and strategies
• Aging process and epidemiology of falls
• Risk factors in aging, medications, medical and degenerative processes

Function and balance assessment.

There are GAIT and BALANCE ASSESSMENT TESTS.

There are interventions to prevent falls.

• Exercise program design: Active Balance Clinic (ABC)
• Tai Chi
• OTAGO

VIDENCE-BASED OUTCOMES.

• What studies say about balance tools and interventions
• Fall reduction, rates and risks
• AGS panel recommendations on balance

There are functions outCOME tests.

• Mini Mental Status Exam (MMSE)
• Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA)
• Barthel Index
• Self-Efficacy
• Assessment of Motor and Process Skills (AMPS)
• Functional Autonomy Measurement System (SMAF)

MUSCULOSKELETAL CHALLENGES

• Lower extremity functional scales (LEFS)
• Disabilities of the arm, shoulder and hand (DASH)
• Measuring myofascial pain
• Trigger points
• Stiffness
• Muscle weakness

There are interests for pain relief, mobility promotion and function.

• Manual therapy
• Neuromuscular techniques
• Integrative medicine

Maintenance, strength and function, and reduction of pain are all interrelated.

• Myofascial release
• Positional release
• Joint mobilization
• Neuromuscular re-education

INTEGRATIVE MEDICINE AND HOLISTIC APPROACHES ARE NEEDED TO IMPROVE MOBILITY.

• Address behavioral and cognitive issues
• Reduce pain in elders
• Mindfulness
• Massage
• Relaxation induction
• Craniosacral
• Reiki

There are case studies and group problems that can be solved.
