Home Health Therapy for Older Adults: Evidence-Based Intervention—Module 2: Nervous System Disorders and Musculoskeletal Conditions
Description
This course provides Rehab professionals with a comprehensive overview of the most common diagnoses encountered with older adults in home health practice. It includes descriptions of each condition’s epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, diagnosis, medical management principles, and disorder-specific therapy considerations. Current research and evidence-based principles of assessment and therapy intervention are discussed throughout the course. Therapist Tips, sample exercises, case studies, and detailed patient and provider resource lists further enrich the learning experience. The course is presented in two modules divided by diagnosis groups. Both modules of this course will be immediately useful in home health practice for PTs, PTAs, OTs, and COTAs who work with older adults. While this course focuses on home health practice, the majority of its principles can be adapted to any practice setting. It will be a valuable learning tool for any therapy provider who works with geriatric patients.
Module 2 (Nervous System Disorders and Musculoskeletal Conditions) covers select nervous system disorders (Alzheimer’s disease/dementia, chronic pain, depression/anxiety, and Parkinson’s disease) and musculoskeletal conditions that include arthritis and osteoporosis.
