Description des services:
|
The Clinic supports seniors at high risk of injury due to a fall. Assessments include interviews, questionnaires, standardized fall risk and frailty testing, physical examinations and cognitive screening, when appropriate
Conditions treated:
- community based patients aged 65 year or over with a history of one or more falls of uncertain origin in the past year
- those with a history of frequent near-falls or instability requiring assessment or identification of fall risk(s)
- additional clinical signs of frailty; slower gait speed, weight loss, fatigue, weakness, sedentary life with/without cognitive impairment
Patient exclusions: patients who are wheelchair bound or use wheelchairs for their primary mode of mobility; patients for whom fall issues are primarily related to their home environment (home safety assessment more appropriate); patients who are unable to attend an outpatient clinic; patients who require assistance for all gait; transfers (refer to Reconditioning clinic); patients post-CVA who are eligible for the stroke program
Patients are assessed and receive a coordinated care plan from a team of experts
