How it works

Falls are the number one cause of injury death in people over age 65. — Brain Inhibition, Posture, Stress, and Muscle Tone
More than 18,000 people over 65 die from falls each year. — Brain Inhibition, Posture, Stress, and Muscle Tone
There are 2.2 million fall-related emergency room visits annually, of which 581,000 result in hospitalization. — Brain Inhibition, Posture, Stress, and Muscle Tone
Falls in older adults are strongly connected to slow cortical reaction and low muscle tone. — Brain Inhibition, Posture, Stress, and Muscle Tone
Elderly people may not recognize they are falling until already halfway to the ground due to delayed cortical reaction, increasing injury risk. — Brain Inhibition, Posture, Stress, and Muscle Tone
As brain activity decreases with aging, cortical inhibitory control weakens and older individuals may become more bent, crooked, or drawn forward. — Brain Inhibition, Posture, Stress, and Muscle Tone
