Sturzprävention - Referat am Spital Thusis

Every year, more than 90,000 elderly people in Switzerland have accidents at home or during leisure activities. The majority of these accidents are falls, which often have long-term health consequences. However, with expert support and targeted preventive measures, the risk of falls can be significantly reduced. What can you do yourself at home to prevent falls? You will receive information on prevention at home and how you can gain strength, balance and gait confidence with exercises to prevent falls. The aim is to achieve independence and autonomy for as long as possible.
