Course Description:
Have you heard the phrase “Silver Tsunami”? This popular metaphor has been used since the 1980s to describe health and economic changes, among other things, that accompany an aging population (Barusch, 2013). This term does not paint a hopeful picture of what happens to older adults as they age; rather, it sounds scary and ominous. Physical and occupational therapists may apply this phrase to the mounting incidence of falls in older adults.
