WHAT’S HAPPENING AT APDA
Falls Prevention
Did you know that September was Falls Prevention Awareness Month? Throughout the month, we raised awareness through social media, emails, and conversations with the PD community. Some common causes of falls in PD are postural instability, freezing of gait, festinating gait, orthostatic hypotension, and more. Physical therapy and medication adjustments are two ways to help, but search “falls prevention” on our website to learn more ways to reduce your risk of falls and stay safe. In honor of Falls Prevention Awareness Day on September 22, many donors made a $22 monthly gift — it’s not too late to join them.
