Getting on and off the floor is an important part of an overall fall prevention plan. 

If you are someone who does not have a strategy for getting up from the floor, I encourage you to watch this video. 

Having a strategy is good, but practicing your strategy on a regular basis allows it to become instinctive. 

Knowing that you are able to get up from the floor reduces the fear of falling.

Do you know the strategy you would use to get up from a fall? 

Could you walk a loved one through the process of getting up from the floor?  

If you did not see a clear path to either of these questions, I encourage you to watch this video.
