As we know, falls can have serious health consequences, particularly for older adults.
This program will describe a mobile application developed by Excel Physical Therapy that can be easily used on phones, tablets or other devices. The application allows users to screen themselves for problems with balance and risk of falling.
It will also provide information on how to identify the potential for falls, educate users on what causes common falls, and provide tips on how to avoid them. The importance of a strengthening and balance program in preventing falls will be stressed.
