ST. IGNATIUS - According to the CDC, every year, one in four older adults report falling and it is estimated 41,000 elderly die because of a fall. Foot problems are usually associated with falls: Increased foot pain, reduced flexibility in the ankle joint, reduced muscle strength, reduced sensation, bunion and toe deformities. Have your health care provider or foot doctor check your feet to address if there are any foot problems that may increase your risk for falls. For safety, avoid wearing only socks or going barefoot inside and outside the home.Avoid wearing shoes over one inch, no ankle support or with a smooth sole. Shop for shoes later in the day. Have your feet measured to ensure proper shoe size and width. Accommodate for bunions, hammer toes, etc. by choosing shoes with a wide toe box. (Information from www.cdc.gov/steadi)
