Fall Risk: 3 Things Every Senior Should Know
How Kinetisense Technology Helps Prevent Falls and Protect Independence
At Aden Chiropractic, we care deeply about the health, mobility, and confidence of our senior community here on Bainbridge Island and across Kitsap County. One of the most overlooked threats to senior health is also one of the most preventable: falls.
Falls are the leading cause of injury among older adults, and the risks increase as we age. But here's the good news: fall risk can be measured, understood, and reduced—especially with the right tools and care. That’s why we use Kinetisense, an innovative, AI-powered technology that allows us to identify and address the root causes of balance issues and mobility decline.
In this blog, we’ll walk you through three essential things every senior (and their loved ones) should know about fall risk, and how we help at Aden Chiropractic.
1. Falls Are More Common—and More Dangerous—Than You Think
Every year, 1 in 4 adults over the age of 65 experiences a fall. While some result in minor scrapes or bruises, others lead to:
Hip fractures
Head trauma
Hospitalization or surgery
A loss of independence or confidence
In some cases, even life-threatening complications
Worse yet, many seniors don’t report falls because they fear losing autonomy or being seen as “frail.” But prevention starts with awareness—and support.
2. Balance and Stability Can—and Should—Be Measured
Most fall prevention programs rely on visual tests and generalized balance exercises. These are helpful, but they lack precision. That’s where Kinetisense comes in.
Kinetisense Fall Risk Assessment is a game-changer because it:
Uses 3D motion capture to track posture, sway, and coordination in real-time
Detects even small instabilities that may go unnoticed during routine exams
Creates an objective Fall Risk Index—a number you and your doctor can monitor
Provides a visual report to track changes and progress over time
With just a few minutes of movement analysis, we can uncover critical balance deficits and joint dysfunctions that contribute to instability—before a fall happens.
3. You Can Improve Your Balance—at Any Age
The body is incredibly adaptable—even in your 60s, 70s, and beyond. Once we’ve identified your specific challenges using Kinetisense, we design a personalized care plan that may include:
✅ Gentle Chiropractic Adjustments
To improve spinal alignment, joint mobility, and nerve communication—key foundations for stability.
✅ Targeted Balance Exercises
Tailored to your needs, these help strengthen the muscles that keep you upright and resilient.
✅ Postural Retraining
Bad posture affects your center of gravity. We guide you toward better habits that support your frame and confidence.
✅ Reassessment and Progress Tracking
With periodic Kinetisense check-ins, we measure your improvement and adjust your care accordingly. It’s empowering to see your progress in real numbers.
More Than Just Fall Prevention—It’s About Confidence and Freedom
At Aden Chiropractic, we believe fall prevention is about more than safety—it’s about freedom.
Freedom to walk confidently down your driveway
Freedom to garden, shop, and socialize without fear
Freedom to live in your home and community with peace of mind
We’ve seen seniors transform from fearful and unstable to strong and self-assured with the right assessment and care. That’s the kind of transformation we want for you—or your loved ones.
Who Should Get a Fall Risk Assessment?
You or a loved one may benefit if:
You’ve fallen or stumbled in the last year
You feel unsteady walking or rising from chairs
You’ve had joint replacements or balance-affecting conditions (e.g., Parkinson’s, arthritis, neuropathy)
You want a proactive check-in as you age
