Falls are no joke. They can cause serious harm, from disability to death. And the cost? Astronomical! So, preventing falls is an absolute must. Did you know that the shoes we wear could be making us more susceptible to falling? That's right! Poorly fitting shoes, both too big and too small, along with high heels and soft cushiony footwear, are all associated with a higher risk of falling.
Luckily, there's hope! With the right research, we can make a difference in reducing fall risk without breaking the bank. Let's work together to keep our patients safe and steady on their feet. #FallsPrevention #ShoeSafety #PatientCare
