Beschreibung
Falls are the leading cause of injury-related death among adults over sixty-five - but they are not inevitable. In Steady On Your Feet: The Complete Balance Training and Fall Prevention Program for Adults 65 and Beyond. , health educator Barbara Anne Stafford delivers the comprehensive, practical program that the healthcare system rarely provides: a complete, evidence-based approach to balance training, home safety modification, and fall prevention that starts wherever you are right now and builds systematically toward real stability and real confidence. Whether you have had a recent fall, are experiencing the early signs of balance difficulty, or simply want to be proactive about your safety before a problem occurs, this book provides everything you need. You will find a clear explanation of how balance works and what aging does to it. A room-by-room home hazard audit that identifies the specific changes most likely to reduce your fall risk. A twelve-week progressive home exercise program - organized into five phases - that builds from basic postural awareness and leg strengthening to dynamic balance training, dual-task challenge, and real-world preparation. And a chapter on what to do if you fall, including how to fall more safely, how to get up from the floor, and how to manage the fear that often follows a fall. This is not a generic pamphlet of generic advice. It is a complete program, grounded in the best available research on fall prevention, written for intelligent adults who want real information and a real plan.
