Falls Risk Assessment

Falls can lead to long hospital stays, secondary infections, and life limiting mobility and independence problems.

One of the higher risk times for falling during walking is when one foot is still on the ground and the other is swinging forwards.

Using the Footscan system we can assess a person’s balance and how the centre of pressure moves in their feet, highlighting the risk of potential falls and building a rehabilitation program that can improve strength and balance. We can advise on the best footwear to adopt for stability and, if needed, we can prescribe custom orthoses to improve stability and balance during walking.
