Some tips that you can utilize to Fight the Fall

As September comes to a close, we want to leave you with some tips that you can utilize to Fight the Fall all year long! Follow the tips below to prevent future falls:

- Get an Annual Fall Risk Screening and discuss your fall history with your physical therapist and your primary physician.
- Have your hearing and vision tested.
- Utilize an assistive device if you need help feeling steady when upright.
- Wear non-skid, supportive footwear.
- Continue to stay physically active.

Individuals of all ages and conditions may be at risk for falling. At FYZICAL, our skilled physical therapists will create balance programs that are specifically tailored to each person's needs, enabling our patients to regain their footing, confidence, and freedom!

Why do we lose our balance?

Falling occurs because the body's balance has been disrupted through the person's sensory and/or motor systems. A person's body can maintain balance because the brain receives and interprets information from several different types of senses:

- Vision (from the eyes) helps orient you to your environment.
- Proprioception or joint position sense (from your joints and muscles, telling your brain where your body is in space).
- The vestibular system (from the inner ear) senses motion, equilibrium, and head position.

Based on these inputs, the brain sends information to different muscles of the body to help maintain balance.

When was the last time you had your balance checked?

No matter your age, balance can always be improved. Even those without a balance disorder can suffer from balance-related injuries. Below is a quick exercise to try; the results will tell you if you should consult a PT. Be sure to have a sturdy surface to grasp onto if you become unstable.

1. Start by standing with your feet close together.
2. Lift one leg off the ground and see if you can hold for 30 seconds.
3. Switch legs and try again.
