Thank you. Very relevant and very well presented, easy to understand and remember because of the text outlines along with articulate speech. I recommend this channel.

My mum(87) has Alzheimers (4 years now) and has never had a fall even though her mobility is greatly reduced and her walk is becoming more of a shuffle. I am sure she has a very strong inner core,She is also on many meds. When she is agitated and wants to go 'home'( she is home she can really walk fast!! I never stop her to leave the house as I see it as exercise for her but I am following her every minute on her 'walk home' with a wheelchair for the return. My dad at 94 on the other hand is in great health but has macular degeneration and I have noticed he loses his balance a little as he stands but I'm sure it's because of his sight.
Great video - Thank you so much. Since I am 75 and my husband is 79 this is good info for us right now. I have also read that falls can be sign of dementia???
Love your videos, I don't feel as if I'm "on trial" in the doctor's office. I am well aware that I have a few issues, but I do things to lessen risk, and improve my overall health. I'm busy, social, try to stay up to date on meds, treatments, dietary recommendations,etc. Enjoy your calm demeanor, and straightforward presentations. I'm looking forward to your next video 😊💜🙌
Thank you this was very helpful. My doctor doesnt seam interested in my health. I feel like i have no doctor. I been having balance problems for over a year and now i come close to falling. Im going to go back to my doctor and politely talk to him. I had stopped talking to him about my health
I am 46 and fall a lot. I've been checked for so much but I think a lot of it has to do with the level of physical, sexual and mental trauma I've suffered. I've had numerous head injuries which were never adequately treated over time, spinal injuries, whip lash, injuries to multiple organs due to abuse/rape, and other things. I have become very accident prone. My brain processing is slower. I dissociate. I don't know how to avoid falls as well as I'd like. I am worried about getting older.

When assessing any patient, learn to listen, and listen to learn.

Some comprehensive advice here.

Love the presentations... Makes geriatrics so so easy to understand and practice
I am NOT A MD, but if you fall and are on blood thinners (Plavix) Please call your medical provider if you hit your head. Just a suggestion.
