Presented by J.J. Mowder-Tinney

Chapters & learning objectives
1. Underdosing in Aging Adults
There has been a 28% increase in the older population since 2004 with significant growths projected for the future. Providing appropriate challenge in regards to strength, aerobic conditioning, and balance is critical to promote safety.
2. Current Practice
Incorporating challenging interventions is key to improving outcomes in the aging adult. However, this requires making changes in the therapist’s current practices. This chapter will highlight the importance of reflection and knowledge translation.
3. Commitment to Change
A commitment to change has been shown in the literature to facilitate changes in the practice of medical professionals. This chapter will provide a specific strategy of how to achieve this and facilitate change after watching any course.
4. Observation of Case
This chapter is focused on a video case of a patient. Utilizing observation techniques, you will reflect on what outcome measures you would pick and what interventions you would do if you were treating them today.
