Fracture Prevention Programs

Fracture Prevention Programs are coordinated efforts aimed at reducing the risk of broken bones, especially in older adults. They typically include assessments of bone health, balance, and strength, along with personalized strategies such as medication, nutrition, exercise, and environmental safety. The goal is to identify individuals at high risk of fractures—like from falls or osteoporosis—and implement steps to improve bone density, coordination, and safety. These programs help maintain mobility and independence, ultimately decreasing the likelihood of serious injuries from fractures.
