Popis: Physical and occupational therapists working with elders will commonly encounter those who have a history of falls or potential for falls. Therapists need strong clinical reasoning skills to work effectively with these elders due to the complexity of balance problems. This paper reviews concepts about balance/falls in the context of a clinical reasoning process. Use of clinical reasoning is addressed for balance assessments and treatment.
