Falls are the leading cause of injury among older Canadians. About 20-30% of seniors experience one or more falls each year and 50% of falls resulting in hospitalization happen at home. Prevent falls by: 1) Wearing proper footwear – socks or slippers can be slippery. 2) Removing cords and floor mats, and watching out for pets. 3) Taking your time rising from a chair to avoid light-headedness. 4) Considering a cordless phone so that you do not have to rush to answer. 5) Keeping fit! Improving strength, flexibility, and balance is critical. Physiotherapy can help keep you on your feet.
