Falling can pose a serious risk of injury, even if it's only from a standing height. If you fall, you could break a bone, which countless older adults experience each year. For seniors, a broken bone can also be the start of more serious health problems, which can lead to long-term disability. And once a senior falls, it's more likely that they'll fall again. However, no matter what your age or fitness level, there are some strategies you can use to reduce the risk of falling, and to lessen the severity of any resulting injuries if it does happen.
