The Sixth Vital Sign
You already certainly know the five vital signs used to measure overall health: body temperature, pulse rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure, and oxygen saturation.
But you may be less familiar with the sixth vital sign: Balance.
Do you know that falls are the leading cause of accident-related deaths for people over 60? Or that, after a serious fall that doesn't lead directly to death, 40% of survivors will die within 6 months?
In short, balance-related deaths and injuries leading to deaths from other causes can reasonably be considered an epidemic.
And virtually all those falls are related to problems with balance -- problems that might well have been addressed had the person's balance been measured regularly, just as the other five vital signs are.
And how can that be done?
