Last year dad had some PT sessions for leg strength/core, but they always had to have a driver and he got tired of going/hassle of it. He is 82 now.

Many of his falls were after breakfast , if he sat too long at table and then tried to walk he had fainting type orthostatic hypotension .. but if mom got him moving as soon ash he was done eating he was oK..

the last few falls were due to the the freezing /PD shuffle feet & body moving at different times so down like a tree.. hit his head in the same place every time..only got a concussion 1 time tho..
