Riassunto

Feel more confident with every step.

Balance affects everyday moments: getting out of a chair, walking across uneven ground, using the bathroom at night, or moving around the kitchen. Balance and Safety: A Guide to Moving in Confidence offers practical guidance to help older adults and their families understand balance, recognize fall risks, and make daily routines safer.

Written by a physical therapist, this illustrated guide explains how vision, sensation, strength, and movement work together to support balance. Inside, you’ll find:

• Common situations in which falls happen and ways to plan ahead

• Home safety tips you can put into practice

• Guidance on when to discuss a cane or walker with your therapist

• Supported leg-strengthening and balance exercises

• Worksheets for tracking activity, symptoms, and falls or close calls

The goal is steady progress at a level that fits you. Use this guide alongside advice from your healthcare team to build safer habits and keep moving with confidence.
