Gait abnormalities increases risk of falls, but don’t just looking at gait speed. Try to look at gait patterns, gait variability and dual task performance while walking. Thanks to Dr. Joe Verghese for the interesting talk. #fallprevention #wcfps2019 #geriPT

Thanks to Celia Gregson for raising the awareness of all attendees of World Congress on Falls and Postural Stability on the issue of fracture in older adults. Treatments to fragility fractures are there but not accessible to people who are at risk of fracture. #wcfps2019 #fragilityfracture

Falls are the leading cause of hospitalisation among older people. Initial results have found that the ‘StandingTall’ app has dramatically improved users’ balance and reduced their risk of falling by up to 30 per cent. seniorau.com.au/9067-falls-red…

Malaysian Pharmaceutical Society Geriatric Pharmacy Chapter and Malaysian Society of Geriatric Medicine's joint worshop on Medicine and Falls. Falls risk increasing drugs are the main culprits for falls in our older adults. Pharmacists and doctors really need to work together!

Thank you, Dawn Skelton Glasgow Caledonian University and Julie Whitney King's College London for holding this workshop. Many more older Malaysians are going to be doing Otago exercises after this and they will be progressed appropriately too! #otagoexercises #fallprevention #wcfps2019
