The notes of Dr. Tzav

It takes us about a year to learn to walk. It takes us about four years to learn to walk perfect. It can be ruinned within seconds to minutes. By stroke, brain injury. It can be ruinned before we start by cerebral palsy. It can be ruinned by dozens of years before we become "elederly fallers". Why we move? Where? How? What for? With whome?

Falls associated with better functioning?

Of 241 falls in 122 patients seven main fall types were distingushed. One fall type (‘I’m giving it a go’) appeared quite different and was associated with better functioning at time of fall and better outcomes.
