💡 Exercise reduces falls by 20-30% — USPSTF Grade B

Non-slip socks and bed alarms don't address root causes.

What works: multicomponent programs targeting:
• Balance training (tai chi, standing exercises)
• Strength training (lower-extremity focus)
• Gait training (walking programs)

Benefits seen in as little as 8-12 weeks.

Your role: PT referral + document functional status. Match the intervention to the risk factor, not the score.
