Hidden Balance Issues Cause Falls In Older Adults

Balance problems in older adults don't always feel like spinning. Signs include unsteadiness, holding walls, smaller steps, hesitation before turning, and discomfort in crowds or dim light. Families should notice these changes, as they may signal inner-ear issues. Early checks can prevent falls. Indian studies show 31% of older adults fall, many get hurt.
