How can I help my 82-year-old mother overcome her fear of falling?
Answer - You're right to be concerned about your mother: A fear of falling is actually a risk factor for falling. In your mother's case, her fear has led her to restrict her activities, which could lead to a decline in her physical abilities, putting her at greater risk of falling.
