BUILDING BETTER BALANCE AND PREVENTING FALLS SEMINAR SEMINAR DESCRIPTION
This two-day course provides participants with skills and strategies to address the complex problems of balance dysfunction and falls in geriatric and neurologic
clients. Participants will further develop their skills in identifying
individuals at risk for falls and conducting a comprehensive evaluation to guide
intervention. Evaluation skills based on key risk factors for balance
dysfunction and objective outcomes will be emphasized. Evidence-based and best
practice intervention strategies provide participants with a variety of skills
to address different aspects of balance dysfunction.
The course will also focus on utilization of standardized assessment measures
and intervention strategies across client functional levels. Evaluation
procedures and intervention techniques will be demonstrated and reinforced with
hands on practice time and case studies allowing for immediate integration of
the material.
