WalkJoy - Catch them before they fall!
WalkJoy is an FDA approved product that can quickly and easily assign a fall risk score to a person based on actual data collected from the way the person walks. If a person is identified as a fall risk, physical therapy can be introduced to help reduce the fall risk score. One of the most common catalysts for the decline of a senior is when they start to fall. WalkJoy has a second product that helps those suffering from Peripheral Neuropath to be able to walk with greater confidence. The FDA approved unit allows the person to feel when their heal strikes the ground and then feed that information along healthy nerve paths to the brain.
