About Falls

According to the World Health Organization, a fall is an event resulting in a person coming to rest inadvertently on the ground or a lower level. If a fall does not result in an injury, it is still considered a fall and the causes of this event should be assessed. Falls frequently occur in the aging adult population with statistics supporting that one in three older adults falls each year; up to half never reporting this to a doctor or healthcare provider.

At Aegis Therapies, we address falls with a multifaceted approach that allows us to consider the impact of:

• Your environment
• Your internal systems such as the peripheral sensory, central processing and motor output, or muscle responses. This provides us with potential causes, or underlying impairments, behind the fall.
• Your memory and ability to follow safety guides
• Your need for care coordination, adaptive equipment and safe transition planning to return to a safe and productive lifestyle

As innovators in rehabilitation, we incorporate the use of evidence-based approaches such as modern resistive strength training equipment and/or electrical modalities to compliment your recovery and road back to health and wellness.
