Grant: Emerging Team Grant: Alliances in Mobility in Aging - full application

Community-dwelling seniors do suffered unintentional injury that lead to medical evaluation in the emergency department. As most injuries are minor, most seniors are discharged back in the community. There is a possible risk of mobility and fucntional decline in the folowing months. This new alliance of scientists proposes to explore and prevent this possible loss of mobility. They will develop tools to help clinicians evaluate and treat injured seniors at risk of mobility loss. The team will work together to propose interventions in different Canadian health care settings to maintain mobility and function after an injury in seniors.
