Description
A single fall can change everything. Orthopedic surgeons witness this firsthand, and they also know that most falls are NOT inevitable. This session explains the musculoskeletal forces behind fall risk: how bone density, muscle mass, gait, and joint function shift with age, and how those changes interact with everyday hazards. Whether you’ve had a close call or simply want to stay proactive, this talk will give you the knowledge to take meaningful action. This program is generously supported by the Frederick H. Bowis Community Fund.
