KineCast#67 : ICOPE : intégrer prévention et autonomie au cabinet

💡 The aging population and loss of independence are a major challenge for the entire healthcare system today. And on the ground, we're already seeing it: more patients, more complexity, and often too late in providing care. 👉 We intervene when a fall has already occurred 👉 When loss of mobility has set in 👉 When dependency has begun But what if we could act sooner? That's the whole point of the ICOPE program, supported by the WHO: to detect functional decline early in order to preserve independence. 🎯 In this episode, Céline interviews Caroline Berbon, an advanced practice nurse at the Gerontopole of the Toulouse University Hospital and a PhD in epidemiology. She works at the heart of the ICOPE implementation in France and offers a concrete, applicable, and local perspective. 👉 Why listen to this episode? Because you'll understand how to integrate prevention into your physiotherapy practice, using simple, readily available, and, most importantly, useful tools for your patients. 👉 In this episode, we discuss: • what ICOPE is and why it's transforming prevention • how to identify functional decline early • simple tests to use in your practice (mobility, cognition, nutrition, etc.) • the physiotherapist's key role in patient adherence and follow-up • how to organize a prevention program in your area • why prevention is becoming a central issue for the profession 💬 An episode to help you move from being a physiotherapist who reacts to problems to one who anticipates them. 🎧 This episode is available on all audio platforms (Spotify, Deezer, Apple Podcasts, etc.) and on YouTube. ⚠️ The opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the speaker and do not necessarily reflect those of the FFMKR (French Federation of Physiotherapists).
