Our bodies change as we age. “A lot of people think I’m getting older, it’s a normal part of aging to fall, or to feel dizzy all the time, and it’s not,” said Physical Therapist Nathalie Grondin. Falls get more consequential the older we get. “Even though person may not break a bone, or have a concussion. An older person let’s say who lives alone, and already has some mobility issues, having a fall can completely change the way they look at the future.”Grondin finds after a fall, people will stop doing activities that are good for them and become more isolated. “It’s really just a downward spiral from there, because then they have the consequences of less strength, less endurance, even less confidence.”A balance screening can help set a baseline. “It’s a checkpoint,” said Grondin.“Oh I’m doing OK, I’m doing what I need to do. But through the consultation and tests we can tease out some of the issues that could be problematic.”They’ll also ask about a persons mental health and measure walking speed, which Grondin calls the 6th vital sign. “Gait speed has the ability to predict mortality within five years. Changes in walking speed are very, very important,” said Grondin.Lee Health offers balance therapy and free balance screenings. You can learn more by searching for balance on leehealth.org.
