From Strain to Support: Integrating Technology and Therapeutics in Geriatric Pain and Mobility Care
Abstract
This chapter explores how innovative technologies and therapeutic strategies in moving and handling are transforming chronic pain management in gerontological nursing. With ageing populations worldwide, the prevalence of musculoskeletal conditions and mobility limitations among older adults is rising, presenting significant challenges for nurses in delivering safe, effective, and compassionate care. Drawing from interdisciplinary research and clinical best practices, this chapter highlights smart assistive devices, ergonomic interventions, AI-powered mobility tracking, and person-centered moving and handling techniques tailored to older adults with chronic pain. The chapter also aligns these innovations with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being), SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure), and SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities), underscoring the importance of sustainable and equitable healthcare advancements in gerontological nursing.
