Summary

This book describes an approach to help older disabled persons maintain function and mobility. The group exercise programs described provide a means for the therapist to intervene to maintain function. In addition, falls are a serious and common cause of disability in the elderly; the therapist can evaluate the risk of falls and make recommendations to the caregiver to prevent falls and injuries without the use of restraints. The exercise program supervised by the therapist can effectively maintain mobility and prevent falls.
