Fall Prevention Tips

Are you worried about falling?

  • 41% of seniors fell due to shifting their weight improperly
  • 25% caught their foot on a chair or table leg
  • 21% fell from tripping or stumbling
  • only 3% fell from slipping (Simon Fraser University)

One of the main reasons people are prone to falls is lack of leg power.

Leg power is essential for shifting weight when walking, climbing stairs, reaching, turning, and more.
