Welcome to Season 2 of AMC Clinical Deep Dive!

Falls and fractures affect 1 in 3 older adults, making this an essential OSCE topic. This episode breaks down the NHMRC Level I evidence for multimodal exercise: combining progressive resistance training (Borg 14–16), multidirectional weightbearing (e.g., jumps), and Tai Chi to significantly reduce fall rates and improve bone density. Learn the specific "dose"—resistance 2x/week and balance 3x/week. Crucially, avoid critical safety errors: screen for contraindications like severe osteoporosis where trunk flexion or twisting must be avoided to prevent spontaneous vertebral fractures.
