[quote=Anonymous]Sorry Op, no recommendations. But if you don't mind me stating the obvious: no throw rugs, no bothersome thresholds, railings & grab bars wherever possible, good lighting .. motion detecting lighting for nighttime. Smooth, gradual inclines, ideally, rather than stairs. But honestly most falls are due to the body aging, normal aging, weaker muscles, a muscle gives out, dizziness.. either from no known cause or commonly from medication, worse eyesight, inability to lift legs as high when walking, catching the toe of a shoe and falling.
