Fall Prevention Screening

Past event
Oct 13, 2013, 12 to 2 PM

Are you worried about falling? One in three adults age 65 and older fall each year. The Vermont American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) wants to help reduce your risk for falling! During October, the Vermont APTA will be offering "Stay Steady Vermont," free balance screening events throughout the state for adults over age 65. Each event will offer an informational session followed by individual balance screenings by licensed Physical Therapists using the CDC-approved STEADI criteria. Participants can participate in a brief balance screen and receive recommendations based on the results. Pre-registration is needed to make sure that time is allotted for screening. A screening will be offered at the First Congregational Church of Essex Junction on Sunday, October 13th from 12-2 pm. For questions, or to register, please call (802) 230-4686.
