Fall Prevention

A stroke, a brain injury or a condition like Parkinson’s Disease can throw you off balance. Not only can this be disconcerting, but the condition could lead to harmful falls.

At Polinsky Medical Rehabilitation Center, fall prevention therapy teaches you how to reduce and prevent falls, which can ease your fears.

Our program:

• Improves your balance
• Increases your strength and flexibility
• Enhances your ability to walk
• Extends your endurance
• Improves your ability to function at home and in the community
• Recommends equipment to increase your safety

Treatment may include use of Balance Master, an advanced computerized system that observes how you keep your balance. We’re the only rehabilitation center in the Northland to offer it. You may also participate in our Balance Center/Vestibular Rehabilitation Program.
