Exercise at home. Learn cutting edge, RESEARCH-BASED techniques developed at the Fall Prevention Center of Excellence. Contribute to the field of knowledge in fall prevention exercise research.
1 in 3 older adults who live in the community will fall each year. Although associated with aging, falls are not a NATURAL part of growing older...the risk can be reduced. Nationally recognized fall prevention expert, DR. DEBRA ROSE, created a multi-dimensional approach to reducing the risk of falling.
Her evidenced-based program begins with a thorough assessment, the Fullerton Advanced Balance (FAB) scale, to identify fall risk. Each person ages differently and therefore has different abilities and weaknesses. The FAB is intended for higher functioning older adults. It is crucial that the assessment tool fit the population.....
If you are an older adult who lives independently at home, have fallen in the past year or are concerned about falling, and live in the Sacramento region, researcher KELLY WARD's fall prevention exercise study might be just for you! She needs study participants who want to exercise at home following the FallProof™ at Home DVD series.
The FallProof™ at Home series consists of 3 progressively challenging DVDs. You are assessed before and after the 12-week study and monitor your individual progress. That's it. The DVD series is for those in the study group and offered to those who are randomly assigned to the control group.
