This is an essential guide for seniors, caregivers, Parkinson's sufferers, and others who face this health risk in their daily lives. As people age, knowing how to adapt to motor, sensory, and cognitive changes is important. While no single cause for all falls exists, leading factors include hazards in the physical environment, balance problems, muscle weakness, poor vision, and impaired judgement. Parkinson's patients and those with other neurological, muscular, or debilitating disorders are especially prone to falls because their motor skills are seriously compromised. How can older persons and those who love them reduce the likelihood of falls? What can be done to anticipate risks or safeguard a loved one's home from hazards that increase the potential for accidents? This book suggests valuable skills and coping mechanisms, important environmental changes, and assistive devices that are needed to prevent falls.
