Novel Physiotherapies and Physical Rehabilitation

Geriatric Physiotherapy

Geriatric physiotherapy plays a vital role in supporting aging populations by promoting mobility, independence, and quality of life. This session highlights rehabilitation strategies for age-related conditions such as osteoporosis, arthritis, frailty syndrome, balance impairments, and neurological decline. Participants will examine evidence-based approaches including strength training, balance exercises, fall-prevention programs, cardiovascular conditioning, and functional mobility training. The session emphasizes comprehensive assessment methods, early detection of mobility risks, and personalized therapy plans tailored to elderly individuals’ specific needs. Importance is given to maintaining independence in daily activities, preventing hospitalization, and enhancing overall physical resilience. Additionally, the role of assistive devices, environmental modifications, and caregiver education will be explored to ensure safe and effective long-term management.
