Geriatric Rehab (active senior program)
We at Vwalk design the exercise program focuses on optimizing the functional abilities, independence, and quality of life of older adults who may be experiencing physical or cognitive impairments due to aging, chronic health conditions, or injuries. Here are some key aspects of geriatric rehabilitation:
Geriatric rehabilitation begins with a thorough assessment of the individual's physical, cognitive, functional, and psychosocial status. This may include evaluating mobility, strength, balance, flexibility, cognition, vision, hearing, and social support systems.
Physical therapists design exercise programs to improve mobility, strength, flexibility, and balance, with a focus on reducing fall risk and promoting safe functional movement. They may also provide gait training, assistive device training, pain management, and education on home safety and fall prevention.
