Falls are not without consequences, especially in old age. These include injuries, fear of further falls and the restriction of activities. This doesn't have to be the case. With the "Trittsicher & aktiv" program, you can take targeted preventative action. Take part! Every third person over the age of 65 falls once a year. Serious falls can be prevented with fall prevention. A free training program promotes mobility as well as independence and prevents problems in everyday life.
In a 12-week fall prevention course with units of 50 minutes each, participants improve their balance, strength and reaction time in small groups through special exercises. Under professional guidance, they receive individual tips on how best to maintain their mobility and safety in everyday life and prevent falls. Regular exercises, which can also be carried out at home, improve self-assessment and increase quality of life.
Who is it for? For all senior citizens aged 65 and over who live independently
"Trittsicher & aktiv" is an Austria-wide program of the Austrian health insurance providers for fall prevention for older people.
The offer is a measure within the framework of the Austrian prevention strategy - financed by funds from the Federal Health Agency (funding period 2024-2028) - and is available to all insured persons free of charge.
