- Aging Process: What is Happening to the Body and What Does it Mean? 3This course discusses at an in-depth level the physiological changes that occur with aging, the modifiable factors that impact the effects of aging, and how these contribute to the function of older adults. Participants will gain knowledge in assessing what changes are normal with aging versus those that are not, intervention strategies, and in addressing risk factors when they are identified.
- Dynamic Seating: Moving Beyond Static Wheelchair Seating 2Dynamic seating provides movement within a wheelchair. When the client moves, the dynamic seating components move with the client, maintaining alignment with the seating system for postural support and stability. Clients who extend within the seating system or seek out movement may benefit from dynamic seating. Dynamic components absorb and diffuse force, protecting both the client from pain and injury and the wheelchair seat and frame from damage. Absorbing force may reduce muscle tone. Providing movement can increase alertness and decrease agitation. Movement can also improve function and postural control.
- Flexibility, Bands and Balance Strategies for the Healthcare Professional 5About the Course:
This video course expounds on the evidenced-based research and intervention techniques with resistive bands, flexibility treatment, and balance strategies for the healthcare professional to improve all aspects of patient care. The hands-on treatment techniques and interventions discussed herein can be used immediately and in all clinical settings. The scientific basis and clinical research of resistive, sensorimotor, and stabilization training and progression for patients of all levels is reviewed. Effective documentation strategies for payor reimbursement are also reviewed. At the end of this course, the healthcare professional will be able to integrate stretch bands, resistive bands, and balance trainers into treatment strategies from pediatric to geriatric populations.

Changes associated with normal aging may often have an impact on food texture choices for normal healthy elders. Subsequent disease processes and effects of medications for those disorders often add even further complications and risks. Dietary departments are thus presented with a range of challenges, given each elder’s preferences and choices; such factors often do not align with the given clinical recommendations. This course will address the rationales behind specific dietary textural modifications, to include such factors as food and liquid temperatures, viscosities, moisture content, and adhesive factors. Given the increased factors of dry mouth (xerostomia) and choking risks, compensations of aroma, flavor and hydration options will be reviewed to improve the safe nutritional intake of this older at-risk population. Dietary strategies and unique clinical recommendations for nutritional content and swallow-safe food textures will be shared for this elder population with increased clinical complexities.
