Adults 55 years or older, including CUW employees, may participate in this free event put on by physical therapy students.

Students in CUW's Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) program will assess participants' vulnerability for falls and offer recommendations or referrals. If you choose to participate, you will be asked to:

  • Answer questions about any past falls, balance concerns, and how mobility around the home and community is going
  • Provide a list of past and current medical conditions
  • Provide a list of current medications
  • Complete balance activities with students
At the conclusion, each participant will receive a written summary classifying his or her level of risk for falls and any subsequent recommendations or referrals. DPT students will complete fall risk screens under the direct supervision of licensed CUW faculty.

COST

This screening is FREE and open to any individual who is 55 years or older.
