Geriatric Rehabilitation
Fall prevention, frailty and age-related mobility.
Geriatric rehabilitation sits at the intersection of sarcopenia, frailty, multimorbidity, and cognitive decline. The track will cover EWGSOP2-aligned sarcopenia diagnosis (SARC-F, grip strength, DXA), progressive resistance training and leucine-enriched protein supplementation, and the emerging pharmacologic pipeline (myostatin inhibitors, apitegromab). Falls prevention sessions will examine the Otago and STEADI programs, multifactorial assessment, and home-modification evidence. Hip fracture rehabilitation, post-ICU syndrome in older adults, and rehabilitation considerations alongside GLP-1 agonist-induced weight loss in older patients will also be addressed, along with cognitive-motor dual-task training.
