Effective Interventions for Lower Level Patients

This Bonus video focuses on interventions for the older adult who is struggling to stay independent in the community or who is already receiving assistance. This population ranges from bed to wheelchair-bound, to older persons who may not be able to go to a gym to exercise.

It’s no surprise that the number of older persons is growing and that therapists are increasingly being asked to verify that the care they provide is effective and evidenced based. Many settings are also demanding that only the most cost effective and efficient care be provided.

The older adult who is not at a high, or even at a community level, is most at risk for decline. Hence the work of Physical and Occupational therapy is most critical. But we must provide the best, evidence based care.

Effective Interventions for Lower Level Patients provides concrete, evidence based treatment ideas in the areas of posture, flexibility, strength, endurance, and balance. A short piece will review the AFIT Level 2 and will be followed by specific interventions that can be used in any setting.

Dr. Carole Lewis will discuss and demonstrate techniques you can use to provide your older, lower level patients with the best and most innovative care.
