This document discusses geriatric management at both the individual and community level. At the individual level, management includes acute care, functional restoration, and prevention. Acute care focuses on education, pain relief, and healing. Functional restoration maintains and improves range of motion, strength, flexibility, and balance. Prevention maintains previous exercises and identifies risk factors. At the community level, a multidisciplinary team provides primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention. This includes health promotion, early diagnosis and treatment, and rehabilitation. The document also outlines exercise recommendations for older adults, including aerobic, strength, flexibility, endurance, and neuromotor exercises.
1) Early management of spinal cord injuries focuses on immobilization, fracture stabilization, and preventing secondary complications. Physical therapy aims to improve respiratory function, prevent skin breakdown, and begin early mobility.
2) During active rehabilitation, the goals are to increase independence and functional mobility. Physical therapy focuses on strengthening, cardiovascular training, and learning mobility skills like transfers, bed mobility, and locomotion.
3) Locomotor training uses body weight support treadmills, orthoses like KAFOs, and assistive devices to retrain walking patterns after spinal cord injury. Training occurs both on the treadmill and overground.
Physical therapy management of pain,shimaa essaShimaa Essa
This document discusses physical therapy management of pain. It begins by stating that the ultimate goal of physical therapy for pain control is recovery of function.

Person Centred Care approach to Fall Prevention in Nursing Homes.Gerinorth
This document discusses falls in long-term care and multi-pronged approaches to prevention. It notes that 30-50% of elderly individuals fall each year and 5-10% sustain serious injuries. At one nursing home, 27.22% of residents fell in 2018, with 3 cases resulting in serious injury. Falls can cause injuries, loss of independence, and decreased quality of life. A multi-factorial approach is recommended, including understanding each resident, applying evidence-based practices, responding to individual needs through function promotion and autonomy support, empowering staff, and modifying the physical and social environment. The results showed a 32.88% decrease in falls at the nursing home from 2017 to 2018.

A pressure injury is damage to the skin and soft tissue usually over a bony prominence. It occurs due to intense or prolonged pressure combined with shear forces. Pressure injuries are more likely in elderly due to decreased movement, sensation, circulation, nutrition, and skin changes associated with aging. The Braden Scale is commonly used to assess pressure injury risk based on a patient's sensory perception, moisture, activity, mobility, nutrition, and friction/shear. Regular repositioning and off-loading of pressure is important for prevention.
This document proposes a model for programmatic assessment that optimizes assessment for learning while arriving at robust decisions about learner progress. The model distinguishes between learning activities, assessment activities, and learner support activities throughout an ongoing curriculum. Individual assessments are designed to be maximally informative for learning, while a longitudinal program of various assessment methods contributes to certification decisions. The principles discussed include ensuring validity in standardized and non-standardized assessments, using both quantitative and qualitative data, and relying on expert judgement at various evaluation points. An example is provided of how this model could be applied to a blended TeleGeriatrics Nurse Training Course.
The document discusses pressure ulcers, including their definition, risk factors, stages, and case studies of management. It defines pressure ulcers as localized skin or tissue damage caused by prolonged pressure over bony areas. It outlines four stages of pressure ulcers based on depth of tissue damage. Two case studies are presented showing management of pressure ulcers through regular wound assessment, dressing changes, and multidisciplinary care including nutrition and physical therapy support. Prevention strategies emphasized include skin inspection, repositioning, and use of pressure-relieving surfaces.
Hypervolemia, also known as fluid overload, is a condition where there is too much fluid in the blood. It is usually the result of an underlying health problem such as heart failure, cirrhosis, kidney failure, or medications. Common symptoms include edema, tiredness, high blood pressure, and shortness of breath. Treatment involves diuretics and addressing the underlying cause. Nursing care focuses on monitoring the patient's response to diuretics through weight, intake and output measurements, and educating them on diet.
