Falls and fall-related injuries, such as fractures, are a growing problem among older adults, often causing long standing pain, functional impairments, reduced quality of life and excess health-care costs and mortality.
A mix of balance and strength training exercises are the most effective physical therapy approach for prevention of falls and fractures in community-dwelling older adults.
We focus on evidence-based physical therapy approaches, including exercise, assistive device training and improvements of safety at home and during periods of mobility.
