FREE BALANCE SCREENING OFFERED
Physical Rehabilitation Services is offering FREE balance screenings to older adults on Wednesday, September 25, 2013 from 9am to 3pm at both Ross Township and Franklin Park office locations. Participants will receive a mobility and strength assessment and learn how they can stay active and prevent falls. There is no cost to participate in this screening. Register by calling 412-366-3880.
Fall-related injuries account for 25% of all hospital admissions and 40% of nursing home admissions. Studies show that early intervention and assessment can significantly reduce the number of falls suffered by older adults.
