Fall Prevention Center of Excellence
A Fall Prevention Center of Excellence is a special place that helps people learn how to keep themselves safe from falling down and getting hurt. When we walk, run or play, we might accidentally trip or slip and fall down. This can be dangerous and cause injuries like broken bones or bruises.
At the Fall Prevention Center of Excellence, special helpers called doctors and nurses teach us how to prevent falling down. They show us how to walk safely and how to use things like handrails to support our balance. They also teach us exercises that can make our muscles stronger and help us to keep our balance.
Sometimes, the helpers might also check our eyesight or test our hearing. This is because not being able to see or hear properly can also make us more likely to fall down.
By learning how to prevent falling, we can stay safe and have more fun playing and exploring the world around us!
