Avoiding Trips & Falls Video

A third of people over the age of 65 and half of those over 80 will suffer a fall at least once a year. Falls can cause head injuries, broken bones as well as other injuries. They can also shake confidence and increase anxiety and isolation. And yet half of all falls affecting older people are preventable.
 
A presentation at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrFvkzHWU3o produced by Aylesbury Vale CCG  aims to improve your understanding of what issues can cause falls and how best to prevent them.
 
Gentle muscle strengthening exercise can help, whether that is walking, dancing, balance exercises of simply getting up from your chair regularly.
