Stepping On - Fall Prevention Program

Stepping On is a program that has been researched and proven to reduce falls in older people. 

It consists of a workshop that meets for two hours a week for seven weeks.  Workshops are led by a health professional and a peer leader – someone who, just like you, is concerned about falls.  In addition, local guest experts provide information on exercise, vision, safety, and medications.

Topics include:

  • Simple and fun balance and strength training
  • The role vision plays in keeping your balance
  • How medications can contribute to falls
  • Ways to keep from falling when out in your community
  • What to look for in safe footwear
  • How to eliminate fall hazards from your home

Stop by the physical therapy department in the basement at BA-40 to pick up a registration form or call Amanda Hoffer at 701-239-3700 ext. 4591 or Kristi Steidl at 701-239-3700 ext. 9-3050 to register.
