This course will reinforce principles of physical therapy management covered in prior courses and applied specifically to the older adult. Normal physiological effects of aging of each body system will be compared to pathophysiology and related to how they affect the human movement system. The use of health and safety screening tools will be promoted as well as evaluation, assessment, care planning and coordination for the older adult. An overview of end-of-life issues, reimbursement models, and community resources will conclude the course.
