dynamometry over manual muscle testing.
4. Compare methods of strength training in older
persons.
5. Delineate the steps in calculating 1RM using the

for functional training of a hip fracture patient.

measurements. Then the combination evaluation
and first day treatment will continue in the gym with

strength training program. Functional sit to standing,
balance progression and measurement are
demonstrated as well as other therapeutic exercises,
activities and neuromuscular re-education.
Part 2 (60 minutes) The second visit will include
further testing deemed appropriate and necessary,
as well as the progression of some of the exercises
