Fall Risk and Footwear*

There is a notable correlation between fall risk and footwear:

  • Inappropriate footwear has been identified as a contributor of up to 45% of falls.
  • A study of people who had suffered a fall-related hip fracture reported that 75% were wearing poor footwear at the time of injury.
  • Appropriate footwear has been identified as a preventative measure in reducing fall risk.
  • Footwear can improve balance.
  • Textured footbed provides proprioceptive sensory feedback for polyneuropathy.
