IPTOP was recognised as a specialty group in 2003 and supports worldwide promotion of physiotherapeutic excellence when working with older people.
The efforts of the association are directed towards enabling national organisations and their individual members to work with older people through research, evidence-based practice, clinical specialisation and collaborative practice with other disciplines and carers.
IPTOP mira a:
By 2025 there will be an estimated 800 million older people in the world, with the fastest growth being in developing countries. The unique knowledge, skills and experience of physical therapists places them in a pivotal position to influence the health and function of older people. Sharing information and cascading relevant knowledge throughout World Physiotherapy’s international network, facilitates learning based on experience from both developed and developing countries.
The prime purpose of physiotherapists working with older people is to maintain and/or restore function, activity and independence. This requires a person-centred, collaborative, inter-professional approach to a wide range of conditions affecting this population.
It is hoped that through IPTOP support more recognition of specialist skills and/or advanced practice skills and knowledge in gerontology will encourage the development of further opportunities for physiotherapists. This will ensure their contribution to the quality of life of older people and, where applicable, their support system or caregivers.
IPTOP ha una politica di unire le sue conferenze alle conferenze nazionali delle organizzazioni membri, quando possibile. Ciò garantisce che le organizzazioni membri in tutte le regioni abbiano l'opportunità di partecipare in modo conveniente all'organizzazione. Le conferenze IPTOP si sono svolte in Australia, Canada, Stati Uniti e diversi paesi / territori in Europa. Se desideri chiedere informazioni sull'organizzazione di una conferenza IPTOP, contatta il presidente IPTOP.
IPTOP assiste anche nell'organizzazione di programmi educativi attorno ai congressi mondiali di fisioterapia.
