What Is A Fragility Fracture?

High heels and loose fitting shoes often play a role in these types of falls; so if possible limit the amount of time spent in these types of shoes while walking.

Many falls occur from poor balance which can be rectified by implementing a balance routine into your exercise regime. Medication's can affect balance along with poor vision and inner ear problems. Improve your stability by getting involved in a good balance program. These balance classes can be found through the American Physical Therapy Association. To find a class near you, see this link from the APTA to prevent and lower the risk of fragility fractures.
