Fall Prevention

Fall Prevention

Falls can be devastating, every 14 seconds in America, an elderly person is treated in an emergency room for a fall-related injury. Even worse, every 29 minutes an older adult dies from a fall-related injury.

Thankfully The Therapy Network specializes in many aspects of fall prevention. Through a full evaluation we can help you determine what risk factors may lead to a fall for you. These risk factors can be as minor as your home environment having too many rugs; or they can be as serious as muscle weakness and reduced flexibility. Whatever the causes, TTN can help you prevent tragedy within your home with a simple and effective treatment plan.

Risk Factors Associated with Falls

  • Muscle weakness and decreased flexibility
  • Vision problems
  • Multiple medications
  • Other medical conditions such as Diabetes, Stroke, MS, Parkinson’s, etc.
  • Home environment – throw rugs, pets, stairs

At TTN We Treat all Aspects of Fall Risks

  • Evaluation by Dr. Edward Walko including medication review
  • Evaluation by a Physical Therapist including
    • Biosway testing
    • Balance testing
    • Mobility testing
    • Vestibular testing
  • We arrange to have your vision examined as needed
