The Release IM Fall Prevention Program is just around the corner!
Patient falls are among the most feared events in healthcare. Managers will cite the cost to the system of a patient being injured in a fall (additional resources, litigation, extended lengths of stay, time lost in therapy and extra protective equipment). As practitioners we also understand that there is a very real and very high clinical price due to injuries sustained from a fall. A patient who falls can injure, or re-injure, himself and end up with a far greater threat to his health than the one he was originally being treated for.
By integrating the Interactive Metronome (IM) into your patient’s care you are addressing key components of motor learning, including: cognitive engagement, precisely timed repetitive movement practice, auditory and visual cues for timing and rhythm, and vital real-time feedback for every move. According to Gilmore (2001), these factors are all necessary for motor learning to take place, and this, in turn, will help you achieve the goal of reducing falls.
Contact your representative to add your name on the waiting list for the program.
