What You Need to Know About
Balance and Falls...... Anyone who
has ever slipped on a patch of ice knows how unnerving it can be to
lose your balance-for a moment your world is literally turned upside
down. Yet balance-the ability to control and maintain your
body's position as it moves through space-is such an integral,
ever-present part of daily life that most people rarely give it
conscious thought. There are conditions, however, that may
impair your sense of balance and contribute to falls. The
effects of aging are the most common causes of balance problems;
injury and disease can also trigger problems. Because falling
is such a common and potentially serious problem - 1 in 4 people
over the age of 65 (who live at home) will fall during the next
year-it's important to find out what you can do to decrease
your risk and improve your general health and mobility....
Your Physical Therapist has many ways of working with you to
enhance your sense of balance !!!
