| Annotation | Physical and occupational therapists working with older people will commonly encounter those who have a history of falls or the potential for falls. Therapists need strong clinical reasoning skills to work effectively with these older people, due to the complexity of balance problems. This paper reviews concepts concerning balance or falls in the context of a clinical reasoning process. Use of clinical reasoning for balance assessments and treatment is considered. (RH). |
