Rehabilitation for older persons is changing rapidly. Payment changes make it more challenging to deliver quality care to the rehabilitatively and medically complex older patient. New advances in treatment techniques, research on efficacy and outcomes make it imperative for the practicing clinician to gather as much proven clinical information as possible. The purpose of this seminar is to provide participants with the most up-to-date information on the evaluation and treatment of the medically complex geriatric patient. The seminar format is lecture and discussion, as the speaker guides you through the most recent research, evaluation tools, and treatment protocols. Case studies and video demonstration with patients will encourage participants to integrate this information into the development of individualized plans for that can be implemented immediately. The extensive handout, which is over 300 pages with 6,000 current medical references, will provide detailed evaluation forms, outcome measures, suggested protocols, sample home exercises and progressions. The material presented provides a thorough approach to therapeutic strategies and goals, thereby preparing therapists to design and implement highly skilled rehabilitation programs for older persons.
