Fall Prevention and the Neuroscience of Aging - Webinar
Register
This presentation will introduce the latest science behind fall prevention and what it means in terms of best practices to proactively help residents stay mobile, independent, and cognitively healthy. There is increasing evidence that challenges with walking, poor balance, and tendency to fall are associated with declines in cognitive capacity. This mental influence on residents' physical well-being can tend to limit the effectiveness of existing fall prevention interventions that focus on environment (multifactorial) or physical exercise alone. However, additional research has shown that the way the brains of older adults compensate for this decline opens the door for training and therapy that can substantially reverse this atrophy through the growth of new neural connections.
