Falls and balance! Interview of a patient after a fall, surgery, and returning to function at 83 years old!” By Dr. Penrose interviewing Beth Davis
Description
Dr. Penrose interviews an 83 year old patient, Beth Davis, about a fall that caused a fracture in her knee requiring surgery and her journey from a leg brace, a walker, to a cane and now back to participating in her water aerobics classes again and most importantly able to care for her spouse. We discuss how falls can take out your independence and mobility as well as what things you should be looking for that make you at risk for a fall. Can you stand on one leg for at LEAST 10 seconds? Can you stand on foam feet together with eyes closed? These are important things to minimize a fall. If you need your balance screened to see if you are at risk for falls call us for a free balance screen 360-456-1444. Penrose Physical Therapy is located in Lacey, WA.
