The CDC's latest statistics reveal an alarming trend among older adults in the United States - falling incidents. Shockingly, almost one-third (28%) of all adults aged 65 and above suffer falls each year, leading to approximately 36 million falls. The consequences of such falls are potentially devastating, ranging from minor injuries to life-altering disabilities, and even death. Consequently, it has become increasingly vital for older adults to learn and implement effective fall prevention techniques to minimize the risk of falling. However, despite best efforts, falls can still occur, and it is crucial to be equipped with the knowledge of how to handle such situations. By being well-informed and prepared, older adults can minimize the potential for serious harm after a fall.
