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.
