Understanding Poor Balance and Risk of Falling
Poor balance and an increased risk of falling are common issues that can result from knee pain, joint instability, or muscle weakness. This condition can affect people of all ages but is especially prevalent in older adults and individuals recovering from knee injuries or surgeries.
