FallStop... Move Strong™
The Fall Prevention & Strengthening Program™

Our Goal:

To keep older adults active and safe both at home and in the community.

Our Program:

Using results of research into fall prevention, the program includes:

• A graduated exercise program which targets strengthening, coordination, flexibility and balance
• Weight-bearing activities to improve bone strength
• Education about personal and environmental risk for falls:
• Age-related changes in our bodies & strategies
• Home and community mobility and safety, footwear
• Recommendations for medical follow-up to review vision, medications, etc.
• Safety strategies for everyday situations such as:
• Getting up in the middle of the night
• Reaching for items on high shelves
• Standing up from a chair or the floor

Our Results:

We see a noticeable improvement in strength and flexibility in all our attendees in 4 weeks.

Our participants report increased confidence and better balance in all indoor and outdoor mobility activities.

Our evaluations results show that all attendees are at a significantly lower risk for falls at the end of the 8-week program.
