My dad with PD has had some bad forward falls, managed to hit his head in the same side 3 times.
Lately we've got the falling under control with med changes and some home PT and having a bit of a protein drink first thing in the morning.
He usually fell right after breakfast after getting up from the table..


He has also started to slump down vs reach out and trying to stay upright now when he starts to feel light headed or weak legged, bending his knees so it is more of a slow collapse than a straight out fall forward..

Might be worth practicing the collapse technique or something like it..
