Increased awareness of the importance of incorporating Balance exercises for ALL patients. Too often we focus on stretching and strengthening and forget that balance work and focus on fall prevention can help save lives (literally). I will be performing balance screenings, recording baseline scores and reassessing every 4-6 weeks and/or with significant changes in health status. This will also give me concrete starting points for developing exercise programs and knowing how to progress/modify. Once I got into the flow of things, I really appreciated the organization and the time spent on developing this course! Very informative and practical and I loved that I could work at my own pace.
The Workbook gave me ideas for furthering my leadership skills and contributing more to my patients. I am going to fine tune a fall prevention brochure/handout that can be taken from the lobby of my workplace and I am going to do some of the special tests to patients to see where they stand compared to their initial eval w/ better explanations on how things should be performed. It was a good learning experience and I am glad for the new ideas I have taken from it.
The course further reiterated my love for balance training and the importance of it for all ages. As a home health therapist most if not all of my patients have balance deficits… so I will be incorporating and implementing the prevention strategies and exercises that I learned on a daily basis.
Balance assessment and library of balance exercises. I will apply the content of this continuing education course to on my geriatric patients.
Fall prevention and things to look for. Useful information for our geriatric population.
Information for my geriatric practice members. Utilize the exercises in our rural area to help the aging population prevent falls and strengthen.
