Osteoporosis management in educational curriculum is often limited to general pathology, co-morbid fracture risk, and contradictions for flexion movement patterns. Little is covered regarding what these individuals can do versus what they should not do. Due to the negative language utilized regarding this population, bias and fear are often instilled in clinicians, resulting in suboptimal clinical outcomes for patients. This is largely due to inappropriate exercise under-dosing and poor utilization of other interventions such as manual therapy due to fear of fracture. In this interactive learning course, assessment and management of osteoporosis as well a osteoporosis-related conditions will be reviewed as well as providing ample current research to promote evidence-based practice interventions when treating impairments related to osteoporosis to enhance clinical outcomes. This presentation includes lecture (1 hours), technique demonstration (30 min), and case-based learning (30 min) to cover screening, assessment, exercise dosing, manual therapy applications, and other related information.
Heidi Moyer, PT, DPT, CEEAA & Andrew Thomas, PT, DPT, CSCS, CEEAA, COMT, FAAOMPT to shares their insight and expertise on "Screening and Clinical Management of Osteoporosis in the Older Adult: Beyond the Plumb Line."
What to expect:
Objectives:
By the end of this lecture participants will be able to:
- Identify characteristics in older adult patients/clients that indicate need for osteoporosis screening.
- Evaluate the components of the FRAX tool and understand its role in screening for osteoporosis.
- Appraise and apply 4 outcomes measures to assess osteoporosis and related impairments at the body function, activity, and participation levels of the ICF model to create a comprehensive care plan for managing this patient population.
- Distinguish which manual therapy techniques are safe for each level of the disease process.
- Design and prescribe appropriate intensity of exercise-based interventions within the older adult osteoporotic population.

Geriatric syndromes are clusters of symptoms commonly seen within the older adult population. While most clinicians are familiar with the basic concepts of falls, incontinence, pressure ulcers, delirium, and functional decline, the extent to which these phenotypes affect patient care are rarely considered, even by seasoned healthcare professionals. Furthermore, failure to identify, manage, and integrate interventions to address these problems within our patient populations can result in poor patient outcomes, limited sustainable progress, and successful carryover of intervention. This results in patients who are ineffectively managed and become frequent fliers within the system. This course will include a lecture component and case studies to promote understanding of geriatric syndromes and the role of the physical therapist in managing them to promote best patient care and overall outcomes.
Heidi Moyer, PT, DPT, CEEAA, GCS shares her insight and expertise on "Geriatric Syndromes: Identification, Clinical Management, and the Role of the Physical Therapist ."
What to expect:

- Distinguish how each phenotype can impact patient outcomes, progress, and carryover of intervention.
- Design and prescribe appropriate interventions to manage the root causes of each syndrome \

Leaders of IPTA's Geriatric Special Interest Group (GeriSIG) present this important program in promoting best practice care for the older adult population during the physical therapist assessment. This hour and a half presentation will delve into the important recent trends occurring in our clinical practice in physical therapy for the older adult. Older adults are living longer with an increasing number of comorbidities, making the population an ever increasingly complex one. As such, older adults face a set of special challenges that physical therapists are uniquely equipped, but often hesitant to manage. This presentation will cover several of these issues including generational disparities; assessment considerations; special topics such as depression, dementia, delirium, nutrition, and pain management; and the importance of interprofessional collaboration in managing the older adult population.
