$199.99   $61 – Fall Prevention: Assessment and Intervention Strategies to Care for High-Risk Fall Patients – Michel Janet (Shelly) Denes

Falls and subsequent injuries are an ongoing issue in healthcare and we as clinicians need to know how to intervene to not only treat falls, but also to prevent them before they happen.

During this course you will get the most up-to-date, clinically-relevant evaluation and treatment techniques for improving balance in geriatric and neurologically impaired individuals. A key focus is on learning to select and use the most appropriate tools for assessing balance/risk of falls and evaluating function. You will examine the relationship between cognition, the sensory system and all the musculo-skeletal aspects that impact on balance and fall risk. This will improve your clinical skills in assessment of high-risk fall patients. Providing appropriate pre-(minimizing the risks) and post-fall interventions is very critical to FALL PREVENTION.

OUTLINE

Assessment of Multiple Dimensions of Balance, Mobility and Fall Risk

Three Classifications of Falls

• Accidental
• Unanticipated physiological falls
• Anticipated physiological falls

Balance Dysfunction and Falls: Contributing Factors

• The vestibular system
• Vision
• Somatosensory system
• Muscular strength and joint flexibility
• Endurance, fatigue and fitness level
• Cognition
• Posture

Risk Factors

• Intrinsic risk factors
• Extrinsic risk factors
• Methods for reducing risk factors
• Practical suggestions
• Home safety checklist
• Health and safety checklist
• Fall predictors

Balance, Mobility and Fall Risk Assessment Tools: Individualized Options

• Functional Reach Test
• Tinetti Balance Assessment Tool
• Berg Balance Scale

Interactive Lab Time: Assessment Tools and Intervention Strategies in Practice

OBJECTIVES

1. Identify the most challenging fall predictors to be able to put in place a fall prevention plan.
2. Explore current evidence-based therapeutics and research in movement strategies for geriatric and neurologically impaired individuals.
3. Determine the most effective evaluation techniques for the highest risk populations you see in practice.
4. Choose the best strategies for fall prevention based on individualized assessment.
5. Incorporate the most appropriate functional balance testing tools for specific settings.
6. Differentiate between various types of therapeutic interventions, including: gait training, exercise, assistive devices and orthotics as appropriate.
7. Develop a comprehensive balance training and fall risk reduction program for individuals with balance dysfunction.
