3 CDC-Recommended Tests That Reveal Your Parent's Fall Risk

The same tests used by occupational therapists in clinical settings

🪑Sit-to-Stand Test: Measures leg strength in the thighs and hips. One of the strongest predictors of fall risk.
🚶Walking Speed Assessment: Called the "sixth vital sign" because it reveals so much about overall health and balance.
⚖️Balance Test: Heel-to-toe stance held for 10 seconds. If they can't hold it, fall risk rises significantly.
📊Score tracking sheet: Record results over time to catch small changes early.
🏠Home hazard checklist: Throw rugs, lighting, bathroom grab points, and floor transitions.
✅Next steps guide: What to do based on your results, including when to call an OT.
