Are Grandma and Grandpa Going To Be Safe From Risk of Fall This Holiday Season?

BAY SHORE, N.Y., Dec. 31, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Falls are the leading cause of death worldwide. Over 65 year olds are at the highest risk with 1 in 4 suffering a fall. Once a fall occurs the chance of having another fall increases by over 60%. A serious fall can result in long hospital stays and a loss of independence. Holidays don't need to be ruined if people are tested regularly using Cognitive Balance Score (CBS). CBS measures risk of fall and monitors a patient's balance and cognitive function in minutes. Your doctor can use CBS to make sure you and your family don't suffer from an unexpected accident over the holidays.

Ensuring good mobility as we get older becomes very important for maintaining our independence. Balance is essential to our mobility. Our balance ability changes as we get older, and it's important to monitor this with CBS. Our tests may mean a new ramp or removing some steps or other obstacles around the house. It could mean some Tai Chi or other balance training. CBS can monitor the progress of these new balance exercises and ensure that they are creating a positive change.

If a fall does occur it's important to make sure that your balance and your brain are still effectively working. It is easy for patients to get overlooked in a busy hospital when they're recovering from a fall. Why not get some reassurance using CBS that you are OK to be discharged? If you're feeling unsure about whether you are stable on your own two feet get tested using CBS.

CBS features fun brain games and postural challenges that measure and monitor cognitive and balance function. Also, if you've suffered a fall, you can also use CBS to get back on track with your rehabilitation.

Preventative action for risk of fall starts with you and CBS.

CBS has been developed over the last 18 years with the assistance of the U.S. Department of Defense.

CBS is a CPT reimbursable product with codes for medical treatment surrounding mobility assessment (risk of fall), concussion, post-concussion syndrome, neuropsychological testing, postural stability and rehabilitation.
