According to the Arthritis Foundation in 2005, nearly one-out-of-three adults suffer from arthritis, the nation’s leading cause of disability among Americans over the age of 15. This course provides occupational and physical therapists critical information necessary to effectively adapt therapeutic exercises for individuals who suffer from arthritis, a condition that can drastically slow a patient's progress in rehab. Additional focus is on post-therapy home programming and designing community exercise programs. Instructors:
