Balance Problems
Frequently Asked Questions
5. How can balance disorders affect an
older person?
Balance disorders can have a serious impact on an older person's
life. They are one reason older people fall. A fall or a life of
limited physical activity due to balance disorders can lead to
health problems, isolation, and loss of independence.
Falls and fall-related injuries, such as hip fracture, are the
leading cause of death and disability for older adults.
