Fall prevention and clinical pictures (SEN)
Falls are one of the most common causes of accidents in old age and often have considerable health, psychological and social consequences. The participants deal with scientifically based risk factors for falls as well as epidemiological data on their frequency and relevance in old age.
A central topic is the classification of risk factors into extrinsic (e.g. environmental factors, use of aids) and intrinsic factors (e.g. muscle strength, balance, neurological diseases). In addition, the connection between common geriatric diseases such as osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, dementia and Parkinson's disease and the risk of falling is explained.
It also shows which preventive measures can be used effectively through targeted exercise promotion. The content is based on current guidelines and evidence-based approaches to fall prevention and also takes into account psychological aspects such as fear of falling and its influence on mobility behavior.
