Course Description:
In formulating optimal interventions, there may be special considerations within the context of assessing and treating gait dysfunction in older adults. The slippery slope of aging describes a progressive decline of function over time, and we know that 6-7% of older adults meet the definition of frailty. With behavioral “buy-in” and appropriate level of challenge, we can impact gait and function in frail and pre-frail individuals, perhaps even reversing the direction they are traveling on the slope. The inter-relatedness of gait and cognition is well represented in the research literature and holds important implications for our assessment and treatment of older adults. Recent literature in both of these areas is presented in this course.
