Description
This course explores the physical therapist's role as an interprofessional team member in promoting optimal health, wellness, and function among older adults across the continuum of care. Students apply evidence-based and ethical decision-making processes to the examination, evaluation, diagnosis, prognosis, intervention, and discharge planning for the older adult across all settings. Emphasis is placed on understanding biophysiological and psychosocial changes associated with aging, the impact of social determinants of health, and the integration of health promotion and preventive care strategies.
