How We Impact
Walk and balance
Most falls occur while walking, thus reduced motor control is considered a serious risk factor for falls. Since control of trunk movement is essential to maintaining balance, deterioration in the control of trunk movement is increased fall-risk.
Life quality
Many seniors who have experienced a fall in the past, are afraid of the next fall. This fear prevents them from walking and getting out of their homes. Fear of fall is common and may lead older people to become socially isolated and hardly active.
Independence
Any loss of ability to live independently in the community has a considerable detrimental effect on quality of life and independence.
Independence is sometimes the only thing seniors may feel they can control when certain aspects of their life change with age.
