Helping improve quality of life
Every year, more than one out of four seniors experience a fall. One out of five of these falls leads to a severe injury. The fear of falling and serious injury has a detrimental impact on daily life. StandStrong’s fall prevention system helps older adults confidently return to their daily routine and maintain their independence.Physical and occupational therapists help their older adult patients regain balance and increase leg and core strength which all aids in avoiding falls. Likewise, therapists show their patients how everyday activities, like cooking, cleaning, and getting in and out of the care, can be accomplished much more safely. By increasing confidence that daily activities can be accomplished with little risk of falling, older adults can see an almost instant improvement in their quality of life.
