Balance is the ability to move or remain in a position without losing control or falling. Problems with balance are one of the most common reasons why older adults fall. You can help identify a balance problem by asking yourself these 8 questions. • Do I feel unsteady? • Do I sometimes feel like the room is spinning around me? • Do I feel like I am moving even though I’m standing still? • Do I lose my balance and fall? • Do I feel as if I’m falling? • Do I feel lightheaded or like I might faint? • Do I experience blurred vision? • Do I ever feel disoriented, losing sense of time, place or identity? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, talk with your doctor about it. You can also schedule a free 20-minute balance screening with McLaren Port Huron Physical Therapy.
