Abstract

Background: The two leading problems of elderly people are balance disorders and falls, which make them become incapacitated due to critical conditions. Physical therapy is considered as one of the methods which are helpful for such problems, but comprehensive treatment should include efforts of several specialists.

Aim: The purpose of this study is to examine the feasibility of integrated care working models applied to elder care specially in the physical therapy realm to address issues of balance and threat of falling.

Methods: Systematic mediated literature review regarding interdisciplinary teamwork in elderly care and balance and fall prevention.

Results: Role integration with the physical therapist, the doctor, the nurse and others optimizes a patient's balance, concerns related to falling and patient outcomes through teamwork and individual care plans.

Conclusion: The integration of members of different areas of specialization is crucial in handling elderly patients especially because physical therapy ensures proper coordination of movements, improved care and finally a very minimal fall risk.
