Course Description:
This continuing education course provides physical therapy and occupational therapy professionals with a comprehensive overview of the most common diagnoses encountered with older adults in home health practice. It includes descriptions of each condition’s epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, diagnosis, medical management principles, and disorder-specific therapy considerations. Current research and evidence-based principles of assessment and therapy intervention are discussed throughout the course. Therapist Tips, sample exercises, case studies, and detailed patient and provider resource lists further enrich the learning experience. The course is presented in two modules divided by diagnosis groups. Both modules of this course will be immediately useful in home health practice for PTs, PTAs, OTs, and COTAs who work with older adults. Although this course focuses on home health practice, the majority of its principles can be adapted to any practice setting. This course is thus a valuable learning tool for any therapy provider who works with geriatric patients, regardless of the setting.
