White Paper: Implementation of a Falls Prevention Program for Seniors

Among people aged 65 and older, falls are the leading cause of both fatal and nonfatal injuries. Yet, current fall prevention programs are often only modestly effective or ineffective.  Assisted Living Facilities and Senior Living Communities need new approaches to integrate and enhance current fall prevention programs to drive cost savings while improving wellness outcomes.  This white paper highlights how GaitBetter's semi-immersive VR technology can be combined with both short-term and longer-term fall prevention interventions to solve this growing challenge. Easily combined with any treadmill, GaitBetter's technology has achieved up to 80% fall reduction in real-world studies and adherence rates of over 90%.
