Join Kyle Dodge, PT, DPT, OCS, from Fyzical Therapy and Balance Centers of Lockport, for a presentation on the importance of balance and fall prevention and learn ways to reduce overall fall risk.
Falls are the leading cause of fatal and non-fatal injuries in older adults. Every year, 1 in 4 older adults will experience a fall and 50% of those falls will result in a visit to the Emergency Room, most often for head injuries or fractures. Simple prevention and screening performed now can reduce time, injury, and headaches in the future. Learn the basics of balance, identify your personal level of fall risk, and discover practical and manageable ways to reduce overall risk and prevalence of falls in the home.
