Falls in older adults are a major concern, with nearly 40% of people over 70 falling each year, leading to millions of injuries, hospitalizations, and fatalities. Age-related declines in strength, balance, and foot structure contribute significantly to fall risk. This session covers 14 evidence-based tests to assess fall risk and 12 targeted interventions to improve stability, mobility, and overall function.
This session explores the latest exercise strategies for managing tendinopathy, including isometric contractions, tempo-driven strength training, and full-range triplanar movements. The importance of strengthening both tendons and synergistic muscles is emphasized, with a detailed protocol for Achilles tendinopathy that can be adapted for any tendon in the body.
