Sometimes when a person falls
it may be because they live with #dementia
Dementia can affect different parts of the brain which control
balance
proprioception
co-ordination
timing
understanding
hearing
sight
sequencing

Fall prevention is not about preventing a person from walking & moving about
it's about equipping the person with the skills & resources to prevent falls & atrophy not just in the short term but in the longer term too
