If you are working with patients to reduce their risk of falling, you need to be able to screen for and provide basic interventions for bladder control problems like urinary urgency and nocturia (waking at night to urinate). This course provides the basic skills and knowledge you need to effectively address bladder control problems from a behavioral perspective with your at-fall-risk- patients. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and is therefore appropriate for the PT/PTA.
