Personal Training for Older Adult Fall Prevention
Unintentional falls among older adults are the number one cause of accidental injury, hospitalizations, and fatalities. 75% of falls occur in the home and result in injuries, i.e., head injuries, broken bones, etc. Many end up in nursing homes, often losing the inability to return home. Some main health challenges that contribute to seniors falling include age, pain, medication, dizziness, muscle weakness, incontinence, numbness, vision, brain disorders, and fear of falling. Regular exercise is the most important things for older people to do to reduce the risk of falls and minimize injuries from a fall.
