文摘

The American College of Sports Medicine recommends 150 minutes of moderately intense exercise each week. Nurse practitioners can screen for, but not completely eliminate, fall and musculoskeletal risk. Nurse practitioners can use principles to manage musculoskeletal walking disorders without having specialized knowledge. Select medical and musculoskeletal populations may not tolerate walking for exercise.
