Some of the main causes of reduced mobility, muscle strength, confidence and functional abilities in elderly are due to Dementia, falls, resulting in fractures, long stays in hospital resulting in deconditioning and neurological conditions. Developing a rehabilitation plan with specific goals aimed towards improving the muscle strength, balance, mobility and overall function with activities of daily living can help the elderly individual immensely.

 

I offered tailored sessions focusing on:

​

• Assessment of movement, strength and co-ordination

​

• Falls risk assessment and prevention strategies

​

• Balance exercises to prevent falls

​

• Walking aid assessment and prescription

​

• Improve joint stiffness and flexibility.

​

• Improve confidence and encourage independence

​

• Improve stamina and endurance
