Really enjoyed having really practical discussions today around stair falls in the home environment. How do we change perceptions and educate our older adults for safer stair use? Thanks for everyone who came a visited my poster ☺️
Fantastic to see @EmilyhmWharton sharing results from her PhD investigating home stair falls in OA’s at her 1st @ISPGR conference today Stair fallers PERCEIVE their own stairs as safe, but IN ACTUALITY they are not! @LJMUSportSci @ClarissaGiebel @asanakpan @arc_nwc
