Your Physical Therapist will use their expertise to assess the following:
-
Fall risk: They will evaluate your risk factors for falls based on age, medical history, and other relevant factors.
-
Strength: They will assess your muscle strength, particularly in the lower extremities, as weakness can contribute to balance problems and falls.
-
Balance: They will evaluate your balance abilities, including your ability to maintain balance in various positions and during specific movements.
-
Medical history: They will review your medical history to identify any conditions or medications that may affect your balance and increase fall risk.

Based on the assessment findings, your Physical Therapist will develop a personalized treatment plan to address any identified weaknesses or deficits. The treatment plan may include exercises to improve strength, balance training, gait training, and education on fall prevention strategies. The goal is to reduce your fall risk, enhance your mobility, and improve your overall quality of life.
