@jmusgravept discusses the relationship between mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and falls in older adults. He explores a study titled "Perturbation-Based Dual-Task Assessment in Older Adults with Mild Cognitive Impairment," highlighting how cognitive decline affects dual-tasking abilities and balance performance. Jeff emphasizes the concept of cognitive reserve, comparing it to physical reserve, and explains how cognitive load during tasks such as walking and conversing can increase fall risk. Jeff aims to shed light on the critical impact of cognitive function on the safety and mobility of older adults.

If we know that exercising has such potent and in many times IMMEDIATE effects on mood, then the question becomes, why aren’t ALL of us doing it with no issues? Some of our older adults (and clients of all ages) think of EXERCISE like a cuss word. Yuck. They HATE it. They have a visceral reaction to it. This is known as the AFFECTIVE response of exercise. The “suck” in the middle of a hard workout hits us all differently and even KNOWING that you get to the other side. The suck can make people disengage. So how do we tackle it? Dr. Christina Prevett breaks this down.

Hope without a strategy is an empty promise. Did you know that 80% of older adults are either frail or pre-frail? This can lead to falls, hospital visits, and loss of independence. But there’s good news—you CAN make a difference! 💪 Use the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) to quickly identify frailty in under 5 minutes. With a score of
