Evidence-Based Aquatic Therapy for Balance Disorders and Fall Risk: Adult Ortho & Neuro Applications

Description:

This 3-hour live webinar is designed to rapidly introduce both therapists and trainers to evidence-based treatment ideas for patients at fall risk. Participants will be taught a series of aquatic therapeutic movements, tasks, or exercises designed to address complaints associated with both orthopedic and neurological populations and then adapt these ideas to novel situations. Participants will examine research which supports aquatic therapy and explore contraindications, including prevailing precaution myths.

Learning  Objectives:

At the end of the training, participants will be able to:

• Describe 2-3 contraindications and/or precautions related to aquatic therapy for this population.

• Given a specific case, write a short statement of medical necessity showing the need for aquatic therapy for a patient with a risk of falls.
