Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
As the population of older adults increases, so does the number of people aging with a disability. It is more important than ever that clinicians caring for these individuals ask appropriate questions and focus on key areas of the physical examination that are pertinent to the care of this population. This article is meant to provide clinicians with a framework for evaluating the older adult aging with a physical disability in a clinic or hospital setting. |
