Designed for the busy practitioner, "Geriatrics" presents 97
alphabetically arranged topics covering all major concerns in
geriatric rehabilitation ranging from age-related changes to
end-of-life care. The first section reviews topics related to
normal aging and assessment methods to measure systemic changes.
The second section addresses common aging-associated diseases and
disorders affecting relevant organ systems, including neurologic,
musculoskeletal, rheumatologic, and cardiovascular problems and
other key concerns such as functional decline, incontinence, and
visual impairments. The last section highlights special
considerations such as aging with a developmental disability,
exercise, pain management, polypharmacy, and rehabilitation in
various healthcare settings. Taken together, the book catalogs the
broad range of functional issues endemic in the elderly population
and offers a quick reference guide for rehabilitation professionals
providing high-quality clinical care to older patients.
Every entry is standardized for quick look-up in the office or
clinic, and features description, etiology, risk factors, clinical
features, natural history, diagnosis, red flags, treatment,
prognosis, helpful hints, and suggested readings.
