In a recent article in Arthritis Today Magazine, 8 ways to reduce the risk of falls was discussed:
- When walking, avoid multi-tasking
- Exercise- aqua aerobics, tai chi, and walking are good forms of exercise.
- Have your eyesight checked.
- Check your medications- side effects can include dizziness or drowsiness.
- Keep your home clutter-free. Secure mats and rugs.
- Check the shoes you are wearing- be extra careful with flip flops and heels.
- Watch where your pets are at all times.
- Reorganize your home so you have easy access to particular areas of your house, for example your pantry.
