Movement Loss and Independence
As we age, movement often becomes harder. Muscle loss, reduced balance, and fear of falling can limit independence and quality of life. For many older adults, this isn’t just about physical decline — it’s about losing confidence, freedom, and the ability to stay connected with the world.
The good news? With the right tools and support, movement health can be protected and improved — helping older adults continue living life on their terms.
Research makes it clear: fall risk and mobility loss are challenges we can’t ignore. (Source: CDC, NIH, APTA)
1 in 4 adults over age 65 experiences a fall each year.
Falls are the leading cause of injury and loss of independence in older adults.
By age 70, adults can lose up to 25% of their muscle strength if not maintained.
Regular movement and measurable exercise can cut fall risk nearly in half.
