Programs that help to prevent falls in older adults and individuals with disabilities.

Programs that conduct an evaluation of individuals who have balance problems that include observation of posture, balance, movement, and compensatory strategies; and develop an individualized treatment plan that includes specific head, body, and eye exercise. Treatment may also include an increase in activities and exercise in order to strengthen muscles and increase the individual’s tolerance for symptom-provoking stimuli. Although most commonly offered by physical therapists, balance and vestibular therapy (VRT) can also be provided by physicians, occupational therapists or audiologists.
