Preventing Falls FAQs
Find the answers you need right here.
Does Vitamin D really prevent falls?
Vitamin D supports bone strength but research shows it does not lower fall rates on its own. Combine Vitamin D supplements with leg-strength and balance exercises plus a safe home environment for proven fall-prevention results.
Is falling just part of getting older?
No. Most falls are linked to weak muscles, unsafe flooring or medicine side effects rather than age itself. Active adults in their 80s who train strength and balance rarely experience falls.
Why do I keep tripping and falling?
Frequent trips signal low leg strength, poor footwear, cluttered walkways or dizziness from medications. A professional falls assessment pinpoints causes so you can fix them fast.
What causes a person to keep falling?
The top triggers are weak lower-body muscles, home hazards like loose rugs and medications that drop blood pressure or cause drowsiness. Addressing all three can cut repeat falls by half.
How can I stop myself from falling?
Do leg-strength exercises three times weekly, clear floor clutter, fit grab rails, add night-lights and ask your GP to review high-risk medicines every six months.
Can you regain balance after 70?
Yes. Targeted balance drills such as heel-to-toe walking improve stability and gait speed within six weeks for most adults over 70.
Which footwear reduces trips and falls?
Choose shoes with low wide heels, rigid non-slip soles and secure fastenings. Avoid backless slippers and worn trainers that slide.
Which drugs increase fall risk?
Highest risk medicines include sleeping tablets, strong opioids, some antidepressants and blood-pressure drugs that cause sudden drops. Ask for a pharmacist review if you take 4 or more prescriptions.
Do grab bars and non-slip mats work?
Yes. Installing grab bars beside the toilet and shower plus non-slip bath mats can reduce bathroom falls by up to 50 percent. (Enquire about how we can provide your home with grab bars/non-slip mats)
How long until I feel steadier?
Confidence often rises within three weeks of regular exercise. Noticeable strength gains appear after six to eight weeks but benefits fade if you stop training.
Does omeprazole raise my fall risk?
Omeprazole does not cause dizziness, but long term use may weaken bones which increases fracture risk if a fall happens. Discuss calcium and Vitamin D in a medicine review with your doctor.
Which medical conditions cause frequent falls?
Parkinson’s disease, stroke, diabetic neuropathy and orthostatic hypotension are leading causes. Specialist physiotherapy plus home safety changes help reduce falls in these conditions.
Who is at the greatest risk of falling?
Adults over 65 who have fallen in the past year, take 4 or more medications or report balance problems face the highest fall risk and should book a comprehensive falls assessment promptly.
