Fall in Love with Prevention: Analysing the science of balance and falls

Understanding the basics of human balance is essential when applying stability strategies to functional independence. By having a thorough background of knowledge regarding the biomechanics of slips, trips and falls, we are better able to objectively support functional mobility with assistive equipment and aids. In this webinar, we will cover:

- The science of static and dynamic balance

- The impact on the use of mobility aids

- Home based falls: evidence based areas of risk

- Assistive Technology for falls prevention

By the end of the session, you will understand the biomechanics of balance, the mechanism of falls and the application of equipment to significantly impact client safety and quality of life.
