How can I prevent falls and maintain good balance as I age?

Asked 4 years ago

As I age, I'm becoming more worried about the possibility of falling and injuring myself, especially my feet or ankles. I want to maintain good balance and prevent falls, but I'm not sure where to start. Does anyone have any advice or tips on how to prevent falls and maintain good balance? I want to stay active and independent for as long as possible, and I know maintaining good balance is important for achieving that goal. Thank you in advance for any suggestions you may have.

To prevent falls and maintain good balance/coordination, the following will help; wear flat shoes with nonskid soles, ensure proper lighting and handrails where necessary, remove obstacles, keep the floor dry, and engage in exercise programs planned by a physiotherapist.
