    B.A.S.E. - Fall Prevention Classes

    Owensboro Health Healthpark, 1006 Ford Ave, Owensboro · verified Aug 21
    See details

    Created by Healthpark to support community health, this small-group, supervised program known as Fall Prevention, or B.A.S.E. (Balance Awareness Stability Everywhere), focuses on building gait, balance, stability, and muscular strength to lower the risk of falls. Across 12 weeks, participants take part in two one-hour exercise sessions each week and also attend six education sessions or shared medical visits with a Lifestyle Medicine Physician. To participate, individuals should be able to walk without heavy reliance on a walker or other mobility devices, commit to the full schedule, obtain medical clearance from a physician, and complete both a pre-program assessment to confirm eligibility and a post-program assessment to track progress. In a pilot group, those who finished the program reported fewer falls, greater confidence with less fear of falling, and improved strength, stamina, and endurance. Program cost aligns with each participant’s insurance co-pays for six standard visits with a family medical provider, which cover the six educational sessions and shared medical appointments.
