The assessment programs are a good option to find those at risk and implement measures to minimize the risk. Seniors above 65 who have experienced falls, or are at a high risk for falls, those with lower extremity weakness and those who experience balance problems can benefit from the complimentary fall assessment program.
By attending the slip and fall prevention program at HealthQuest, patients will have the opportunity to meet the physicians, who will perform a complete examination and discuss the appropriate option that is needed to reduce the incidence of falls and fall-related injuries. To prevent or reduce the risk of fall and injuries, it is important to follow all the instructions provided by the physicians.
This fall assessment program includes:
• Gathering information regarding the patient’s health history
• Evaluating the medical condition
• Performing safety assessment
• Suggesting ways to improve balance through appropriate treatment regimens such as exercise, gait training, and specialized physical therapy
