Why be concerned about falling? • Falls and fall-related injuries are the leading cause of accidental death in older people. • Half of seniors who fall will fall again within a year. • Nearly half of the seniors who fall reduce their activity after a fall • Most fractures among older adults are caused by falls What if you or your loved ones could wear a simple brace in their shoes to prevent falling or injury? There is a new prescribed custom made ankle foot orthosis designed to easily fit into most shoes. By wearing this brace it stabilizes the foot in the presence of weakness and fatigue. It stimulates skin receptors providing feedback to the brain. Also it provides ankle support, improving balance and helps avoid falls by reducing postural sway. It also provides foot clearance reducing the risk of tripping. It can be easily put on and removed and is extremely lightweight. Contact your local podiatrist to see if he or she provides this brace for their patients. It involves an office visit where the patient's gait is analyzed and fiberglass casts are made of both feet. Takes about 20 minutes for casting and the braces usually arrive in 3-4 weeks. Medicare and most insurances approve 100%. If you have any foot problems, issues and questions, please contact Howard J. Tzorfas, D.P.M. at 908.236.6999, or visit: www.DrTzorfas.com. Conveniently located in the Hunterdon Hills Plaza, 1386 Hwy 22W, Lebanon. Dear Julie, I know it's election time when I see the campaign ads in CTNL! It's important for candidates and voters to know that NJ ELEC requires all ads to include a "paid for by" disclosure. An ad for a school board candidate in the November Issue lacked this important information, meaning it violates campaign law. I hope all future political ads always include this! – Nick Corcodilos, Ex-Mayor Thanks for the reminder, Nick! Residents of Clinton Township – you can read through the NJ Election Law Enforcement Commission's Compliance Manual for Candidates here: www.elec.state.nj.us/pdffiles/ forms/compliance/man_cf.pdf Hello Julie, I enjoyed your last issue of the CTNL regarding the college search process, as my oldest daughter is in the middle of it and it is always good to hear different perspectives. Have a Happy Thanksgiving and thank you for everything! – Jennifer Fasciano MD, MPH, Co-founder and Executive Director, Hand in Hand Healthcare Solutions Thanks Jen! Readers – you can find that fantastic article by Jeff Knapp in our November 2018 Issue of CTNL ("Maximize Your College Application Success" on pages 24 and 25).
