Your First Step to Fall Prevention

At The Balance Center, we offer comprehensive Fall & Risk Assessments to help identify your personal risk factors and develop a tailored prevention strategy. Our expert team uses state-of-the-art technology and evidence-based practices to evaluate your balance, strength, and overall fall risk.

What to Expect During Your Assessment

Our Fall & Risk Assessment includes:

  • Medical History Review: We’ll discuss your health conditions, medications, and previous fall experiences.
  • Physical Examination: This includes tests of your balance, gait, and muscle strength.
  • Functional Tests: We’ll assess your ability to perform daily activities safely.
  • Environmental Evaluation: We may discuss your home environment to identify potential hazards.
  • Vision and Hearing Screening: These senses play a crucial role in maintaining balance.

Based on your assessment results, we’ll create a personalized fall prevention plan that may include exercise recommendations, home modifications, and strategies to manage risk factors.

The frequency of assessments can vary based on individual needs. Generally, we recommend:

  • Annual assessments for adults over 65
  • More frequent assessments if you have a history of falls or certain health conditions
  • Reassessment after any significant change in health status or medication

Remember, early identification of fall risks is key to prevention. Don’t wait for a fall to occur – schedule your Fall & Risk Assessment today and take proactive steps towards maintaining your independence and well-being.

A typical assessment takes about 60-90 minutes. This allows us to thoroughly evaluate your fall risk factors and discuss our findings with you.

While a referral isn’t always necessary, some insurance plans may require one. We recommend checking with your insurance provider. If you’re unsure, contact us, and we’ll be happy to guide you through the process.
