2. History and Sensory System Assessment
There are many reasons a person can lose their balance. This chapter will provide a step-by-step assessment and discussion of the sensory system and how it impacts balance. This information will increase options moving forward when designing a solid plan of care.
3. Examination of Postural Control: Categorizing Priority Impairments
A comprehensive summary of the priority impairments will provide you optimal outcomes for your patients. This chapter will stress the importance of addressing priority impairments and how to integrate them into your session without taking more than five minutes. Additionally, case-based examples of home exercise programs will be reviewed.
4. Environmental Considerations
This chapter will review the impact of different environmental activities on balance. Individualizing balance progressions by continually utilizing environmental dimensions can improve safety and decrease fall risk.
5. Standardized Outcome Measures
Performing consistent and standardized outcome measures provides therapists the ability to assess if their interventions are challenging enough to the patient. They can also be used as an external cue to increase motivation. This chapter will review the latest recommendations from the literature. In addition, approaches to improve documentation are discussed, highlighting ways to demonstrate the therapists’ skilled interventions.
