Michel Janet (Shelly) Denes – Fall Prevention
Description:
Falling and subsequent injuries are a constant problem in healthcare. Clinicians need to be able to recognize and treat these issues before they occur.
You will learn the most important things during this course.-To-Clinically, date-You can find the appropriate evaluation and treatment methods to improve balance in both neurologically impaired and geriatric patients. It is important to be able to use the most appropriate tools in order assess balance/risk for falls and evaluate function. This course will focus on the interplay between cognition, sensory system, and all musculoskeletal systems.-Skeletal aspects that have an impact on balance and fall risks. This will enhance your clinical skills when assessing high-risk patients.-risk fall patients. Pre- (minimizing the risks) and Post-Fall prevention is crucially dependent on fall interventions.
OUTLINE
Assessment of multiple dimensions of balance, mobility and other factors Fall Risques
Three types of Falls

OBJECTIVES
- Recognize the most problematic fall predictors in order to develop a fall prevention strategy.
- Look at the most recent evidence-Research in movement strategies and therapeutics for the elderly and neurologically impaired.
- Identify the most efficient evaluation techniques that are applicable to the highest risk population you see in practice.
- You can choose the best fall prevention strategies based on your individual assessment.
- For specific settings, use the most appropriate functional equilibrium testing tools.
- You can distinguish between different types of therapeutic interventions such as gait training, exercise, and assistive devices.
- For individuals with balance problems, develop a complete balance training program and fall risk reduction program.
