Practitioner’s Guide to Healthy Ageing
Filipa Jorge
Looking to assess, manage and optimise outcomes in older adults?
With people living longer and remaining active later in life, practitioners face increasing challenges in delivering effective, individualised care across the ageing pathway. Objective assessment and technology-informed evaluation can play an important role in supporting clinical decision-making, tracking progress and improving outcomes.
VALD’s latest Practitioner’s Guide combines research and expert insight to explore how practitioners can confidently assess, monitor and support older adults across a range of settings. Learn about the physical qualities most affected by ageing, which assessments are both safe and effective, and how testing data can help guide rehabilitation, exercise prescription and ongoing care.
Topics covered include:
- Assessment and testing considerations for older adults
- Objective measures that are safe and practical to use
- Service delivery opportunities across the ageing population
- Key physical qualities affected by ageing
- The role of higher-impact assessments, including jump testing.
