Feet Falls and Function: Taking an active role in falls prevention.

Falls are rarely caused by a single problem and this session will explore how foot pain, footwear, balance, gait and function can influence the mobility of people in our communities.

This will be a practical evidence based session for clinicians to show how every assessment can be an opportunity to take an active role in falls prevention.
