1. Association Between Psychological Well-Being and ADLs in Older Adults
In this chapter, we review the overwhelming connection between ADL/IADL performance and predictors of psychological well-being. Psychological well-being will be examined through quality of life, mood, and life satisfaction.
2. Unique Comorbidities, Social Circumstances, and Contexts in Older Adults
In this chapter, we will provide updates on unique older adult comorbidities, such as sensory loss and loneliness. We will discuss ADL modifications in the context of these issues, as well as special circumstances in restricted environments.
3. ADLs in Older Adults With Amputation
Older adults with acute or chronic amputation face unique challenges in rehabilitation. We will discuss ADL modification in the context of changes in skin, muscle strength, balance, and cognition.
4. ADLs in Older Adults With Mental Health Diagnoses
Older adults may be managing acute or chronic mental health issues. In this chapter, we identify strategies for neuropsychiatric issues, which can interfere with ADL/IADL independence.
5. ADLs in Older Adults With COVID-19
Older adults with COVID-19 display physical, cognitive, and psychological symptoms, both in the short- and long-term. In this chapter, we reveal critical areas of assessment and extrapolate best practice for intervention through current literature.
6. Question and Answer Session
In this segment, Carrie will answer your questions from the webinar in a question and answer session.
