Geriatrics
Geriatrics covers a wide range of difficulties related to the aging process—from normal age-related changes to diseases that become more complex and pronounced in older age.
Many conditions affect people during aging, some appearing earlier and not limited to this list: arthritis, osteoporosis, cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, joint replacements (e.g., hip), balance disorders, incontinence, etc.
Physiotherapists in this field are specialized in treating older individuals and their related conditions.
