OVERVIEW

#7427 Optimize Fall Prevention By Implementing Targeted Neuroplasticity Training in Older Adults is organized by Motivations CEU.

Description:
Neuroplasticity and neuroprotection provide us with a brain that can adapt not only to changes inflicted by damage but allows adaptation to any and all experiences and changes we may encounter. With this understanding, we can intervene to help with balance, gait and reduce fall risk in our patients for improvements in safety, ADLs, and leisure. Proprioception is also an integral part of movement, somatosensory input, gait and balance that is impacted by aging and disease as well. We can intervene to help the somatosensory input to ultimately reduce their fall risk. The earlier we intervene, the better as demonstrated with the STEADI Initiative at the CDC.. Course instruction methods include lecture, picture/graph, demonstration, videos, case studies and question/answers.

Objectives:
Upon completion of this course, the participant will be able to:

Understand neuroplasticity and the major drivers of neuroplastic changes
Understand the science behind exercise and its impact on neuroplasticity and neuroprotection
Evaluate home-based risk factors and occupational hazards that contribute to falls and determine how these risk factors can be reduced
Understand the framework for postural control (somatosensory input) and its impact on reducing fall risk
Integrate the latest advances in fall prevention and the most up-to-date information from the CDC – STEADI Initiative into your practice for improved patient safety, ADLS, and recreational activities.
