Course Description:
Fifty four million Americans are living with or at-risk of osteoporosis and low bone mass, resulting in two million fractures every year. Physical therapists have a vital contribution to patient education and intervention both before and after fracture to improve posture, core and spinal extension strength, balance/coordination and muscle strength reducing fall risk and risk for fracture. Collegial partnerships with referring physicians in primary care, PM&R, endocrinology and gynecology are essential. Special populations from transplant, oncology and gastroenterology are also important to address. This course, the final in a three-part series, focuses on effective therapeutic interventions for the older adult with osteoporosis.
