Dates: 01/31/2017-01/31/2017, Tuesday 2:00-2:55PM
Price: $0.00
Class Description: Join us on Tuesday, January 31 at 2:00 pm at the Kay Ceniceros Senior Center for an informative 45 minute discussion on ways to make your home more fall-proof. We’ll also demonstrate some simple strength training exercises that you can do at home that will increase strength, balance and help keep you more flexible.
Free balance screenings will be provided by Balance Tracking Systems. This simple, three minute test will measures your postural sway and tell you if you are at risk for a fall. A test result over 40 suggests you may be at a higher risk for falls. What’s your score??
The test is FREE and open to anyone age 65 and over, but space is limited. RSVPs are required. To register, call 1-888-GERI-FIT (1-888-437-4348) x1 or register for free online!
Directions: The Kay Ceniceros Senior Center is located at 29995 Evans Road in Menifee, California.
Info on the balance test: The BTrackS balance test is a simple three minute test that will measure your postural sway and tell you if you are at risk for a fall. You'll stand on what looks like a bathroom scale and you'll stand still for 20 seconds each time. The machine will average your test results after three tries and will give you your results. A test result over 40 suggests you may be at a higher risk for falls. What’s your score?? Find out on January 31.
Study info: If you are chosen to be in the study, you will start Geri-Fit classes later that week on either Mon & Wed at 9:00-9:45 am, or Tues and Thurs from 3:00-3:45 pm. The exercises we will demonstrate on January 31 are the same ones you'll be doing in class.
The study will be conducted for 12 weeks and, at the conclusion of the study, you will have your balance tested again. We are confident your test result will improve, however, results vary and there are no guarantees. There is no compensation for being in the study other than free balance testing and free exercise classes.
If you have any questions, please call 1-888-437-4348 x1. Thank you for your interest in participating in our event.
