Balance & Fall Prevention Expert Volunteers

The Mission of the FPTA Fall Prevention Task Force is to sustain fall prevention efforts across our state on a continuous basis and to empower FPTA members and not-yet-members to carry out this mission. The Task Force has been active over the last two years raising awareness among our non-PT colleagues that physical therapists should be the "go-to" providers for fall screening and assessments. Physical therapists and physical therapist assistants should be important members of the interdisciplinary team who provide fall preventative interventions for older adults in our communities.

The task force has been contacted by the community for fall prevention education and feels that it is time to identify members across the state who consider themselves to be fall prevention experts for the purpose of providing PT services as well as to provide education to older adults and our non-PT colleagues across the state.
