The DocTalks Podcast

Falls are the leading cause of injury-related hospitalizations and deaths among people aged 65 or older in Canada. 50% of falls occur at home and the most common injury from a fall are fractures. However, falls can be prevented. On today's episode of the DocTalks Podcast, host Ian Gillespie chats with Dr. Jaspreet Banghu a geriatrician at Parkwood Institute with a specialization in falls assessment, intervention, treatment and research and Janelle Unger, PhD, a registered physiotherapist and the principal investigator at the RED Neuro Lab who is currently conducting research in falls and falls prevention at St. Joseph’s Gray Centre for Mobility and Activity as part of a partnership with Western University.
