Due to growing concern related to falls and their impact in the elderly population, Steadfast Physiotherapy & Rehab Team has developed a Fall Prevention strategies and Exercise program. The program is aimed at identifying the clients who are at risk of falls due to environmental and health reasons.

Tips to decrease fall at home

• Make your home safe – Removing things you may trip over such as wire, loose carpet edges, shoes, papers, clothing etc.
• Review your medications – as needed with a healthcare provider.
• Exercise therapy – Participate in exercises to minimise falls with the help of the healthcare provider.
• Ensure your vision is checked as advised by your doctor or Healthcare provider.
• Use appropriate walking aid for safe transfers.
• Contact your Healthcare provider for further information.
