Falls are one of the leading causes of serious injuries and health problems for older adults. There are numerous factors that can contribute to an increased risk of falling, such as: age, history, medication changes, degenerative joint diseases, post arthroplasty, or osteoporosis. Our fall prevention and balance program is specifically designed to help reduce the risk of falls.
What makes our Balance Program unique?
Our world-class physical therapists have some of the best equipment and technology available to assist you with your individual needs:
Biodex Computer Balance Testing System: allows our PTs to identify balance problems in just two minutes
Guldmann Safety Harness: allows patients to walk safely while being suspended from the ceiling in a harness
AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill: uses NASA-developed technology to unweight patients to as little as 20% of their body weight, allowing them to work in a safe, fall-free setting
We are here to help!
Ask your physician for a referral to participate in our fall prevention and balance program based on your increased risk of falling. Most insurance plans, including Medicare, cover our screening and treatment for fall prevention. Call 518-489-2524 with any questions. We look forward to helping you get back in balance!
