GERIATRIC PHARMACOLOGY: THE IMPACT OF DRUGS ON REHABILITATION AND FUNCTION IN THE ELDERLY
Presented by Jennifer M. Bottomley, PT, PhD, MSThis one day
seminar focuses on physiologic and neuroendocrine changes specific to the elderly
that influence their response to drugs - impacting function and leading to the
possibility of drug-induced frailty in the elderly. Older adults are prescribed more drugs than
any other age group in the population. Many medications have significant side
effects that adversely impact functional and rehabilitation goals. Other drugs
may actually enhance function and have beneficial effects acting to facilitate
ease of movement, promote endurance or improve cognition and/or alertness.
These pharmacological interventions will be reviewed from a systems-based
perspective.
