Description
FallProof! A Comprehensive Balance and Mobility Training Program, Third Edition With HKPropel Access, provides a comprehensive exercise program that professionals can use to train older clients in becoming functionally fit and reducing the risk of falls.

Written by the foremost experts in balance disorders, Debra Rose and Elizabeth White, this third edition includes key updates to the guidelines, tests, and programming that made the previous editions so popular and made the FallProof program so widely recognized throughout the industry.

Thoroughly updated with the latest research and revised assessments, including the Expanded Fullerton Advanced Balance (E-FAB) scale and the Walking While Talking Test, this resource is indispensable for health professionals working with the older adult population.

The third edition features new activities for improving seated balance and center-of-gravity control as well as for encouraging a flexible and adaptable gait to reduce the risk of falling. Case studies, expert insights, and practical analysis prepare practitioners to anticipate, understand, and manage the age-related changes their clients experience. Professionals can help clients address the functional limitations that often result in falls with a variety of balance, strength, endurance, and flexibility exercises::
  • 17 upper-body exercises, 4 of which are new
  • 4 new abdominal exercises
  • 18 lower-body and foot and toe exercises
  • 5 new compound floor exercises
  • 30 flexibility exercises and stretches, 7 of which are new
FallProof!, Third Edition, also includes online access to 12 reproducible forms, questionnaires, score sheets, and a sample lesson plan. Seven videos demonstrate screening tests to help assess clients and monitor their progress. FallProof! delivers the specialized knowledge and practical skills required for creating programs that ensure older adults develop and maintain the balance and mobility essential in avoiding falls and aging successfully.

Earn continuing education credits/units! A continuing education exam that uses this book is also available. It may be purchased separately or as part of a package that includes both the book and exam.

Note:: A code for accessing HKPropel is included with all new print books.
