In this webinar you will hear from Dr. Rebecca Haddad who is a physician specialising in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation with a focus on geriatrics at Sorbonne Université in Paris, France. Her clinical, research, and teaching work is dedicated to the care of people ageing with disabilities, with a particular focus on bladder ageing.
The estimated life expectancy for people with SCI have improved significantly. Bowel and bladder function are also impacted, and cognitive ageing is the major threat for continuing self-management. By using products that reduce risks of infections and complications the patients can avoid severe complications later in life.
In this webinar you will learn about:
- Frequent comorbidities in ageing with SCI (Cognition, Musculoskeletal, Cardiometabolic) and how ageing impact on bladder and bowel function.
- Factors that can compromise the ability of a person with SCI to maintain their independence when it comes to self-care at later stages in life.
- How to help individuals with SCI transition from adulthood to older age.
