One-time falls prevention program leads to long-term physical activity
For people who live in the community, a fall has the potential to abruptly change the quality of their lives. The Stand Up! falls prevention program was developed to help community-dwelling older adults improve their balance and strength as well as learn about ways to reduce their risk of falling.

Simple ankle exercises improve balance
The ankle is a hinge-type joint that helps support the body when shifting body weight, walking and jumping. Movement at the ankle includes plantar flexion, when the toes move away from the leg (when pushing on the gas pedal in a car or pushing off from the toes when walking) and dorsiflexion, when the toes raise towards the leg (when walking and the heel strikes the ground first).
