Exercise Prescription in the Home: Advanced Coordination & Skill
Presented by Wendy K. Anemaet
This course is part of our GCS Prep-Program. Learn more about the full prep-program here: MedBridge GCS Prep-Program.
It is well known that exercise can help patients at all phases of their rehabilitation, but what exercises are best for patients who have near normal strength, power, muscle endurance, balance, and aerobic capacity but just need to work on high level activities? In order to maximize function and delay declines, exercises prescribed during this time need to focus on advanced coordination and multimodal training. This course discusses the physiology behind advanced coordination and skill exercises including plyometrics, how clinicians can use a clinical decision making process for therapeutic exercise prescription, and practical examples of assessing and prescribing exercise for older adults. With this information clinicians bring patients and clients to their highest level of function through appropriate use of exercise.

2. Assessing the Need for and Progress with Advanced Coordination and Skill Exercise
This chapter describes the type of patient who might benefit from advanced coordination and skill exercise. In addition, various methods of assessing advanced coordination and skill are included as well as parameters for prescribing effective exercises.
3. Exercises for Advanced Coordination and Skill
This chapter will describe the types of exercises and how you would prepare dosage to help your patient gain some advanced coordination and skill. We'll also take a look into the links in plyometrics and how it produces long-term muscle endurance.
4. Case Application of Exercises for Advanced Coordination and Skill
We'll wrap of this course with a case of a patient with decreased high level balance and coordination after a total knee arthroplasty. It includes a demonstration of assessment and outcome measurement techniques and exercise prescription for advanced coordination and skill.
