GERIATRICS

One’s balance consists of many components – Brain, Spinal Cord, Eyes, Ears, Joints, Sensory Receptors and Muscles. When one of these components is slightly out, our balance suddenly becomes compromised and a risk to ourselves. Falls are the most common and serious type of injury in people over the age of 65. It is the main cause for disability and leading cause of death in individuals aged 75 and above. The better balance program is aimed at improving balance in the elderly population, which will help reduce the risk of falls and any other disabilities which may be a result of the fall.
