The field of geriatric rehab and geriatric
medicine is a fast growing sub-specialty in
healthcare.
Many fitness trainers are teaching
fitness programs to our seniors, but they are
not qualified to assess functional limitations
and design a program based on those findings.
This course reviews the characteristics
of aging and discusses the components of an
appropriate functional assessment.
Explanations include the four pillars of human movement
and how they relate to functional
activities.
How to design a functional exercise
program and progress the patient through
manipulation of the different variables,
including all the planes of the trunk, is
emphasized with clear illustrations.
