Overview

Advanced Geriatric Rehabilitation and Physical Therapy Course is a one-week applied programme for physiotherapists, rehabilitation professionals, occupational therapists, nurses, geriatric care teams, service managers, and clinical educators working with older adults. Participants build a Geriatric Rehabilitation Service Portfolio connecting person-centred goals, geriatric functional assessment, mobility, transfers, strength, balance, frailty, falls, pain and fatigue considerations, cognition and communication, assistive-device coordination, home and community participation, multidisciplinary pathways, outcomes, and programme improvement. Agile Leaders Training Center emphasizes tailored rehabilitation planning within authorized roles and does not diagnose individuals or prescribe patient-specific treatment.
