Description

Balance and fall prevention are typical components of a rehab program in the elderly, however, there is limited research investigating the effects of the combination of balance and fall prevention in an elderly person with a trimalleolar fracture. The purpose of this case report was to describe a comprehensive physical therapy program combining balance training and fall prevention strategies for a 77-year-old patient after a trimalleolar fracture.
