Strength and movement capacity
Lower-limb strength, joint mobility, reaction time and the ability to change position all influence balance and walking safety.
Vision, sensation and medical factors
Vision, sensation, vestibular function, blood pressure responses, medication effects and neurological or cardiovascular conditions can all matter. Some causes need medical review.
The home environment matters
Lighting, loose rugs, bathroom setup, footwear, stairs and the placement of furniture can change fall risk. Home physiotherapy can sometimes reveal barriers that are not obvious in another setting.
Training should be individual
Useful rehabilitation may include strength, balance, gait, transfer practice, appropriate mobility-aid education and confidence-building. The difficulty level should be matched to safety and ability.
Need individual guidance?
If symptoms are affecting movement or daily function, a physiotherapy assessment may help determine whether rehabilitation is appropriate and what the next step should be.
