Role of Atrial Fibrillation as a Risk Factor for a Cerebrovascular Accident
Atrial fibrillation is a serious supraventricular arrhythmia originating from an ectopic pacemaker located in one of the atria of the heart. A complication is the formation of thrombi within the atrium chamber. Due to the development of thromboemboli, it is speculated that this can lead to a higher incidence of cerebrovascular accident. This presentation will attempt to show the relationship between atrial fibrillation and the risk of a cerebrovascular accident.
Session B - Alumni Room - 10:00 a.m.~10:15 a.m.

Functional Flexibility
Flexibility is a very important component of physical fitness and daily functional independence, thereby, requiring special attention and practice. As a person ages, he/she experiences a reduction in flexibility which may cause a myriad of problems for the musculo-skeletal system. Different types of stretching and other flexibility exercises help to improve or maintain desired range of motion, independent of age. The scope of this presentation is to examine the importance of flexibility and to identify exercises that maintain or improve optimal range of motion for all ages.
