π€ π Falls are the leading cause of injury hospitalisation and death among women in Australia, and they particularly affect older people. A fear of falling can lead to less movement, increasing frailty and risk.
Letβs encourage:
ποΈ Regular movement (walking, water exercise)
π Sensible, supportive shoes
π‘ A well-lit, hazard-free home
𦽠Assistive devices if neededβ
π₯ Regular check-ups with a health professional
