As Alvord explains in this comprehensive guide to falls prevention, diagnosis,
and therapy, more than one-third of adults ages 65 or older fall each year. Among
seniors, falls are the underlying cause of a large proportion of fatal traumatic
brain injuries. On the positive side, much can be done to prevent injury from
falls in the aging population. This book is an ideal guide for clinicians who
see patients at risk for falling. It provides complete assessment and treatment
plans, incorporating the most recent developments of new balance test equipment
and techniques for balance function rehabilitation. The detailed section on assessment
covers vestibular, cardiovascular, neurological, rheumatology, metabolic, orthopedic,
psychological, cognitive, visual and physical therapy factors. Therapy and prevention
chapters cover physical therapy, occupational therapy, and exercise and behavioral
modification. A final chapter explains falls prevention programs and clinics.
Case studies throughout illustrate successful versus unsuccessful assessment and
treatment programs.
