by LINDY CLEMSON, Jo Munro, Maria Fiatarone Singh
Part of the Life series
Paperback / softback
Description
The Lifestyle-integrated Functional Exercise (LiFE) program is a way of reducing the risk of falls by integrating balance and strength activities into regular daily tasks.
Unloading the dishwasher becomes an opportunity to improve strength.
Brushing your teeth becomes an opportunity to improve balance.
In the LiFE program, every daily task becomes an opportunity to improve balance and strength.
This is a different approach to a traditional program where you would be required to complete a series of exercises a certain number of times a day for a set number of days each week. The trainer's manual outlines the principles of the LiFE program and provides a step-by-step guide for therapists and trainers to implement the program with their clients.
It should be used in conjunction with the participant's manual so that the program is fully understood from both the trainer's and participant's perspectives. Blank copies of the worksheets are available online. Activity CounterActivity PlannerDaily Routine Chart (DRC)LiFE Assessment ToolA participant's manual is also available.
