Geriatric Physical Therapy Open Access Journals
Geriatric
Physical Therapy offers an extensive presentation of the science and practice of geriatric physical therapy. Aging adults have unique needs with regard to
health care. The individual needs of older adults may be met by physical and occupational therapists who specialize in geriatric care. As our bodies grow older we lose strength, muscle mass, bone density and reactions to the balance. Physical therapy can play a significant role in reducing your risk of falling as you age, and in maintaining your independence. Exercise is a powerful tool that can slow down these natural effects of aging, and even reverse them. Physical and occupational therapists provide specific recommendations for the treatment in order to remain healthy and active. Cute disease and chronic illnesses are more common among older adults. Periods of inactivity can lead to deconditioning and the loss of mobility for any reason. Physical therapists as
health care professionals are skilled in working with people affected by these challenges. We belong to your
health-care team. Geriatric physiotherapist may need to bear in mind that the patient also has osteoarthritis in the contralateral knee and a painful wrist cane is used.
