Course Description:

Despite a clear role for PTs and OTs to screen, assess, and intervene in fall prevention, only 50 percent of rehab patients at risk for falling have their fall risk addressed during their rehabilitation. This course will help PTs and OTs understand the fall prevention resources available to them in the CDC’s Stopping Elderly Accidents, Deaths & Injuries (STEADI) tool kit and how to apply it in routine clinical care to keep their older adult patients healthy and mobile.
