Reducing your risk of falling
Afall can result in un- wanted outcomes, including injury, loss
of independence and a de- creased ability to do the things that are most impor- tant to you or a loved one.
Each year, 3 million older adults are treated in emer- gency departments for fall injuries. Even falls that don’t lead to injury can provoke a fear of falling that causes you to avoid the activi- ties that keep you healthy, strong and ultimately less likely to fall. While falls are dangerous, the good news is that experts say they’re largely preventable.
“While many factors can contribute to our chances of falling as we get older, falling is not a normal part of ag- ing,” says physical therapist and American Physical Ther- apy Association spokesper- son Greg Hartley, PT, DPT. “Working with a physical therapist can empower you or a loved one to regain bal- ance and strength.”

the strength, flexibility, coor- dination and balance needed to prevent falls. From swim- ming to yoga to walking, take part in a variety of physical activities that you enjoy. Talk to your physical therapist to determine which activities are safe for you.
KNOW YOUR RISKS
A physical therapist can help you assess your risk fac- tors and develop a plan to address them so you can re- main independent. Tell your doctor or physical therapist if you have any dizziness, loss of balance or trouble seeing. Be sure to tell them whether you fell in the last year.
CHECK YOUR MEDICATIONS
Many drugs can cause diz- ziness, loss of balance, blurry vision and more. If you have any of these symptoms, re- view your medications with your pharmacist or doctor.
ASSESS YOUR HOME’S SAFETY
Assess your home to fix or remove anything that could cause trips or slips, such as throw rugs, clutter, poor lighting, and wobbly furni- ture or handrails. It’s also a good idea to install a secure grab bar in the shower and next to the toilet for sturdy support on slippery floors. If you can’t make these safety
