Falls Prevention for Seniors
Most falls occur in and around the person's home and are one of the leading causes of death among seniors. Falls are caused by a combination of risk factors and research has consistently shown that most falls can be prevented by identifying and dealing with such risks. The Falls Prevention Program at Main Street Physiotherapy Clinic is designed to reduce risk of falling and is catered to seniors. The program will provide seniors with prolonged independence and health.
Some of the factors that can cause falls:
- Poor balance
- Dizziness
- Weakness
- Depression
- Previous fall(s)
- Confusion/Psychosis
- Poor vision or Hearing loss
- Medication use
- Older age
If you or someone you know has any one or more of the risk factors listed above they may benefit from the Falls Prevention Program. The program not only focusses on strength balance and range of motion exercises, but also includes education on the following:
- Lighting in and around the home.
- Stairs and hand rails
- Foot wear
- Walking aids
- Grab bars and other aids in bathrooms, tubs and showers.
- Assess negative effects from medication and report them to your Physician.
