Understanding Intentional Underdosage

Intentional underdosage is a strategic approach used in rehabilitation, particularly for older adults. It involves prescribing exercises based on a patient's perceived capacity rather than their actual abilities. For example, instead of immediately introducing a potentially daunting exercise, like lifting a heavier kettlebell, a clinician might start with a simple banded deadlift to build confidence and ensure success. This method helps align patients' perceptions of their physical abilities with their true capacities over time, promoting a more gradual and empowering rehabilitation process.
