How can you modify exercises for aging populations with joint pain?

Ved tr?ning p? land kunne man overveje at kigge til Medicinsk Tr?nings Terapi og Holtens kurve. Mange satser p? tung styrketr?ning og det kan v?re fint i perioder. Men det vigtigste, er i min optik, at man tr?ner i bev?gesynergier og kan holde ud og have god teknik. Det vil sige ?ge antallet af gentagelser og derefter hastigheden hvormed ?velserne udf?res. Og ved at ?ge antallet af gentagelser bedres koordinationen og kredsl?bet i synergien, n?r koordinationen fungerer kan man ?ge hastigheden i ?velsen. Den ?gede hastighed kr?ver at man kan fyre til flere muskelfibre p? en gang og det ?ger muskelstyrken. S? p? denne m?de opn?r man bedre koordination, udholdenhed og muskelstyrke uden at belaste led for meget

J’ai démarré depuis plus d’un an une routine de 20-30’ déjà basé sur les postures yoga assis. Les résultats sont significatifs déjà sur l’ouverture de la cage thoracique niveau épaules et mobilités rachis dorsal , ainsi que sur les hanches. Associes à un respiration adaptée et rythmée . Mon fil conducteur reste celui de la Pec des patients Parkinsoniens. Beaucoup de leurs exercices cibles conviennent aux patients fragiles

weight training to shift the body weight from the joints to the muscle is essential. therefore i would depending on the patient write a training program mostly done with resistance bands and amino acid supplementation as all the older people do not have enough protein.

Intensity is important when you exercise. It can harm or help your workout. I use the BORG scale(1-10) to rate intensity levels when I train my clients. (1 being very light, and 10 being maximum effort). The aging population with joint pain should never be training at an intensity level of 7-10. They should be staying around 3-5 and keep the weights lighter and just focus on movement to keep them active and healthy.

Form is always important. It is more important than the weight itself. You need proper form to isolate your muscles properly. With muscle isolation, you will see and feel results faster verses just throwing the weight around. Without proper form, you could injure yourself and get muscle strains.

One thing I focus on is mobility and flexibly. As we age, our muscles get tighter and we do moving as much and doing the things we used to. Sometimes it's the of falling or the fact that they have not done a movement in years. Improving flexibly and mobility gives our aging population the confidence to try and improves there ability to perform a particular task. Improving range of motion allows you to be able to maintain your independence.

Here are two important rules to follow when you stretch. Do dynamic stretching before you exercise and static stretching after you exercise. If you do static stretching before you exercise, it will weaken the muscles, resulting in a less productive workout.

In stead of streching you migth work from endrange to endrange, this is possible in medical exercise therapy a.m. Holten. This is also known from PNF

As an OT, using meaningful occupations is the key especially with pain. The client is more engaged and the therapist can modify or grade the activity depending on specific goals.
