Falls are a leading cause of injury among older adults. Age-associated physical changes and deteriorating health can make elderly individuals more susceptible to falls. For this reason, and because elderly individuals are more likely to sustain injuries as a result of a fall, it’s particularly important, for many older adults, to have a fall prevention plan in place.
Removing home hazards, utilizing assistive devices, and making changes to one’s lifestyle are commonly employed methods by which to reduce one’s susceptibility to falls. Physical therapy represents a secondary (and often highly effective) strategy. Exercises designed to improve balance, flexibility, muscle strength, and gait can all help prevent falls.

A physical therapist will begin with a screening of your fall risk, which will include a review of your medical history, medications, and living situation.
Based on this evaluation, a physical therapist can create an exercise plan that will combine balance training and strength training with practical methods of fall prevention like wearing the proper footwear, adjusting your daily tasks, and removing risk factors from the home.
