RESOURCES FOR HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS
​
Healthcare professionals can take an active role in preventing falls by screening patients for falls and fall risk, evaluating a patient’s gait, strength and balance, educating patients about their risk and about prevention strategies, and by providing referrals to community classes or to another health provider, like a physical or occupational therapist, who can work with the patient to help reduce their risk of falls. Visit the CDC’s STEADI pages for more information on how you can help prevent falls:
