Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Lord and group take on a lot of simple things that will never make money, but should always be first in assessing fall risks and arranging prophylactic actions:
Test reaction times...why? because so very many older folks are taking too much medicine and reaction times are extended--AND no one is checking!
Never wear bifocal/trifocals to walk...why? because the focal length is adjusted for 12 to 18 inches, NOT 5 feet, where the step edge or the dropped item is. (the solution is to carry a pair of walking glasses, set at a refractory length of five feet.)
There is a lot here that you won't find in the US med ed system or it's practitioners. It's a great book for fifty year olds to read--for their own futures and for their parents daily lives.
