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 it's 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 three to four weeks.
Medicare and most insurances approve this treatment 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.
"It is a curious thought, but it is only when you
