| Joe Middleton @_JoeMiddleton A1. Don't work in an exclusively neuro setting but yes, yes it is. #physiotalk |
| physiotalk @physiotalk @hilsgunn Hi- you need to include the hashtag so that people following can 'see' your tweets #physiotalk |
| Samantha Turner @mampy1985 @physiotalk In my previous setting in Neuro outpatients our joint OT/PT ax inc. qu related to falls & PT's completed Berg balance screen #physiotalk |
 | Pamela Hansford @PamKHphysio Looking forward to #physiotalk (Cape Town 10pm) My passion, neurology, the complex dynamic sensorineuromotor system that allows us to integrate mind & body in function through life Can we move from problem focus eg falls prevention to enhancing structure+performance+Wellbeing? |
| Rebecca Partridge @rebspartridge @physiotalk Students what falls assessments have you seen on your neuro placements? #physiotalk |
| James Armstrong @PhysioArmstrong RT @RebsPartridge: @physiotalk Students what falls assessments have you seen on your neuro placements? #physiotalk |
| Joe Middleton @_JoeMiddleton Althought, personally don't like the word 'routine'. #physiotalk |
 | Andy MacKellar @madonblizzard RT @saeboukglyn: @physiotalk Can you plug this please before #physiotalk tonight, might keep @bendotellis quiet https://t.co/3U4vaAORS1 |
| Ben Ellis @bendotellis @physiotalk It was a key aspect of our long term neurological conditions enquiry in the new LTC module at Brookes #physiotalk |
| Donncha Lane - Physio @DonnchaLanePT @physiotalk Yes! I assume all my patients are an increased risk of falling until proven other-wise……not that risk of falling is every negated completely. And I try to talk pragmatically as possible to patients about falls risk - and that some wobbles can be okay #physiotalk |

| Donncha Lane - Physio @DonnchaLanePT @physiotalk Additionally I am a big fan of trying to look at the bigger picture of falls assessment - using appropriate outcome measures for the person in front of me but remembering this isn’t the be all and end all either #physiotalk |
| South West ACPIN @ACPIN_SW #physiotalk how are we defining falls? |

| Jo Lockyear @Jolockyear1 @gavoyannis @ACPIN_SW @physiotalk @thecspstudents Why do you think this is? Is this because of a lack of content covered in your programme? Lack competence in this area? #physiotalk |
 | Jive Hackey @jivehackney RT @EllieR1987: @physiotalk Hello on the late shift in Hackney #physiotalk |
| ULHT Physiotherapy @ULHT_Physio Follow each question and comment with #PhysioTalk https://t.co/LUztLdWiLG |
| Natalie Patterson @PhysioNatalie @physiotalk On my 1st placement only so far as to ask how many falls MS patients had had in the last week, it was assumed they were all at risk. On my 2nd every elderly person neuro or not had a modified rivermead on admission #physiotalk |
| Angie Logan @logan_angie @physiotalk I'm a physio researcher and I routinely Ax & Rx falls for both my NHS patients and research participants. Often asking questions and giving advice to patients, relatives & Residential & Nursing Homes too #physiotalk |

| physiotalk @physiotalk @ACPIN_SW A good question - are we all familiar with usual definition of a fall? #physiotalk |
| Amanda Denton @adentonpu @physiotalk Is anyone using other measures apart from Berg? #Physiotalk |
| South West ACPIN @ACPIN_SW RT @ADentonPU: @physiotalk Is anyone using other measures apart from Berg? #Physiotalk |

| Donncha Lane - Physio @DonnchaLanePT @ADentonPU @physiotalk I hope so! The Berg is one of my pet hates…..a useful measure for only a few individuals. I also like Dynamic Gait Index, Five Time Sit to Stand Test, Functional Gait Assessment, HiMAT to name a few…..#physiotalk |
| Susan Cotton @susancotton18 #physiotalk Q1 we are inpatient rehab - I think we ask all patients about falls history, but are less 'routine' with falls screening/assessment |
| James Armstrong @PhysioArmstrong It’s face paced tonight on #physiotalk and @PlymUniPhysio very own. @RebsPartridge and @Jolockyear1 hosting https://t.co/zwxjHWe0bY |
| Susan Coote @susancoote unfortunately none of the objective measures are good at identifying people with #MS who fall #physiotalk |
 | Blaithín Hadjisophocleous @blaithin_h @physiotalk Hello from snowy Manchester ❄ #physiotalk |
| Samantha Turner @mampy1985 @DonnchaLanePT @ACPIN_SW @physiotalk Being aware of the home environment and the potential impact this could have on falls is key #physiotalk |
| Ben Ellis @bendotellis @ADentonPU @physiotalk I would hope so.... But I'm gonna guess 80% + of OMs done for falls/balance is Berg in UK #physiotalk |

| physiotalk @physiotalk RT @susancoote: unfortunately none of the objective measures are good at identifying people with #MS who fall #physiotalk |
| Samantha Turner @mampy1985 @susancoote I agree and there is also a lack of acknowledgement on the psychological impact of falls on an individuals independence #physiotalk |
| Donncha Lane - Physio @DonnchaLanePT @physiotalk @ADentonPU High Level Mobility Assessment Tool - one of a few outcome measures validated in the Traumatic Brain Injury population….I challenge any of us to try and score top marks on it! #physiotalk |
| Leah Devlin @Leahdevlin1989 @physiotalk Yes .. falls screening/ assessment tools used with most neuro outpatients #physiotalk |

| Ben Ellis @bendotellis @DonnchaLanePT @ADentonPU @physiotalk I'm a big advocate of the BESTest, have brought it into UG curriculum at Brookes #physiotalk |
| Hilary Gunn @hilsgunn @physiotalk Tricky though- the ‘f word’ conversations can be full of ‘well yes, no, maybes... when is a slip, trip, stumble a fall etc! #physiotalk |
| physiotalk @physiotalk @susancoote Yes - q coming up about specific neuro populations :) #Physiotalk |
 | Anita 🇮🇪🇪🇺 @anitareilly12 @ADentonPU @physiotalk We find BBS has ceiling effects pretty quickly so use modified CTSIB with all patients and then something more condition/patient specific if needed.. #physiotalk |
| James Armstrong @PhysioArmstrong I'm only a 1st year watching and learning on my first ever #physiotalk :) Really interesting so far https://t.co/sC5kIuYsHR |
 | Jo Young @handyotjo @WinderAsInMere Just in case you didn't know!! 😂 https://t.co/CeL6SBfM6U |
| Hilary Gunn @hilsgunn @DonnchaLanePT @ADentonPU @physiotalk Me too!!! I’m having a bit of a thing with miniBEST .... #physiotalk |
| South West ACPIN @ACPIN_SW @DonnchaLanePT @physiotalk @ADentonPU Great to have measures that are suited to high level patients too #physiotalk |
| Susan Coote @susancoote @bendotellis @DonnchaLanePT @ADentonPU @physiotalk i'm also a BEST - well mini BEST fan , but i'm not sure there is any evidence for its predictive validity for falls in MS? #physiotalk |
| Donncha Lane - Physio @DonnchaLanePT @hilsgunn @physiotalk Perhaps we get too wrapped up in the word (which may or may not be appropriate) - instead of supporting people to problem solve around falls/trips/stumbles to improve their confidence etc #physiotalk |
| physiotalk @physiotalk @DonnchaLanePT @ADentonPU Thanks - not a population I treat :) #Physiotalk |
| Natalie Patterson @PhysioNatalie @ADentonPU @physiotalk #physiotalk As an assistant at winchester we did tinettis as they were quicker and easier to remember as a TA you didn't need the qualified there to sign it off. |

| Donncha Lane - Physio @DonnchaLanePT @hilsgunn @ADentonPU @physiotalk Love it! And a great one for students to learn and appreciate the various aspects of balance - except for getting the bloody perfect sized ramp! #physiotalk |
| Alison Worsfield @arw987 @physiotalk In my setting (Hospice) many list falls as a key concern, so assessing it is required in order to be focusing on their priorities. #physiotalk |

| physiotalk @physiotalk A reminder of Q1 - asks about management as well as assessment of falls #Physiotalk |
| Jo Lockyear @Jolockyear1 Students we want to know your opinions on this topic #physiotalk #getinvolved |
| Ben Ellis @bendotellis @susancoote @DonnchaLanePT @ADentonPU @physiotalk I wouldn't use it to predict for falls, but to try and work out what the changeable risks relating to balance are. The falls themselves are dependent on so many other factors #physiotalk |
| Natalie Patterson @PhysioNatalie @ACPIN_SW There is an @MDTea_podcast on falls and they define them on there #physiotalk |
| Univeristy Of Plymouth Physio Society @PlymUniPhysio RT @Jolockyear1: Students we want to know your opinions on this topic #physiotalk #getinvolved |
 | Chris Lovegrove @CLovegrove_OT RT @Jolockyear1: Students we want to know your opinions on this topic #physiotalk #getinvolved |
| George Gavoyannis @gavoyannis @physiotalk @DonnchaLanePT @ADentonPU #physiotalk how regularly would you define as 'routine' in a clinical setting? |
| South West ACPIN @ACPIN_SW RT @Jolockyear1: Students we want to know your opinions on this topic #physiotalk #getinvolved |
| Susan Coote @susancoote @bendotellis @DonnchaLanePT @ADentonPU @physiotalk Completely agree, it's not just about balance, lots of interacting factors #physiotalk |
| Samantha Turner @mampy1985 @physiotalk Management should include a joint OT/PT ax of home env to ascertain any trip hazards / barriers in daily life #physiotalk |
 | Prof Vicki Goodwin MBE @VickiG_physio Dislike assessments trying to establish fall risk. Ask people if they have fallen and any circumstances. #physiotalk |
| Andy MacKellar @madonblizzard @physiotalk @ACPIN_SW would be good if folks put up a definition #physiotalk |
| Ben Ellis @bendotellis @heatherpearce7 @susancoote @DonnchaLanePT @ADentonPU @physiotalk Brief BESTest is also new addition to the range (so to speak!), still short but keeps all aspects of the systems framework represented #physiotalk |

| Hilary Gunn @hilsgunn @PamKHphysio We like to discuss ‘safe mobility’ #physiotalk |
| Glyn Blakey @saeboukglyn RT @ADentonPU: @physiotalk Is anyone using other measures apart from Berg? #Physiotalk |
| Donncha Lane - Physio @DonnchaLanePT @VickiG_physio But where assessments are looking at various components of balance - it can be useful as a starting point for treatments or the likes….I tell my patients we are all at risk of falling and its about reducing it if we can #physiotalk |

| Pamela Hansford @PamKHphysio @physiotalk #physiotalk (Cape Town 10pm) My passion neurology, the complex dynamic sensorineuromotor system that allows us to integrate mind & body in function through life Can we move from problem focus eg falls prevention to enhancing Structure+Performance+Confidence+Wellbeing? |
| Ben Ellis @bendotellis @susancoote @DonnchaLanePT @ADentonPU @physiotalk Agree. Stopping falls is easy - just sit in a chair all the time. Reducing falls whilst maintaining or increasing activity and independence is a balancing act (don't excuse the pun!) #physiotalk |
| ULHT Physiotherapy @ULHT_Physio RT @physiotalk: Q1. Is falls assessment and management a routine part of your practice within neuro setting? #physiotalk |
| physiotalk @physiotalk Ok - onto a linked Q2 next #Physiotalk |
| Joe Middleton @_JoeMiddleton The overriding falls risk factor = bipedal (or monopedal!) ambulation #physiotalk https://t.co/hbOLpiZHZz |
| Donncha Lane - Physio @DonnchaLanePT Management of falls - it depends on what I find……hopefully individual #physiotalk |
| physiotalk @physiotalk Q2. When and how do you identify if a neuro patient has an increased falls risk? #physiotalk |
| Susan Coote @susancoote Q2 having a previous fall is probably the best indicator of increased fall risk #physiotalk |
| South West ACPIN @ACPIN_SW RT @physiotalk: Q2. When and how do you identify if a neuro patient has an increased falls risk? #physiotalk |

| Joe Middleton @_JoeMiddleton Management of falls #physiotalk https://t.co/cAc0Asw5rZ |
| Donncha Lane - Physio @DonnchaLanePT @physiotalk I assume and tell all my patients we are all at risk of falling - and my job is to see can we reduce it…….I do like to assess balance objectively and ask them - without making them think I will be mad/upset #physiotalk |
| James Armstrong @PhysioArmstrong As a 1st year student at @PlymUni we started looking at gait and assessment today. So interesting and it highlights the complexity in just keeping ourselves upright at all. #physiotalk |
| Jo Lockyear @Jolockyear1 @hilsgunn @ADentonPU @DonnchaLanePT @physiotalk How do you management this response? #physiotalk |
| physiotalk @physiotalk Lots of mention of the BEST test (and variants) Info here: https://t.co/Wn58ITFkwQ #Physiotalk |
| Rebecca Partridge @rebspartridge Students how have you seen clinicians identifying falls risk on placements? #physiotalks https://t.co/AFzGG0goC2 |
| Ben Ellis @bendotellis @DonnchaLanePT @hilsgunn @ADentonPU @physiotalk Tend to go for a 2D wobble board wedged up on a medium step from the standard 3 step set? #physiotalk |
| Donncha Lane - Physio @DonnchaLanePT @Jolockyear1 @hilsgunn @ADentonPU @physiotalk I tell my patients that wobbles and falls happen - its how we learn from them and carry on is the skill (assuming there is no bad injury that needs addressing!) #physiotalk |
 | Jonnie McCrea @JonnieMcC @ADentonPU @saeboukglyn @physiotalk #Physiotalk BDL 4/44 equal to Berg 50/56, approx. But gait analysis, cognition, joint position sense, dept perception, sensation, etc also important. |
| Caroline @cjneurophysio @DonnchaLanePT @physiotalk @ADentonPU I like the Activities Specific Balance Confidence Scale (ABC Scale) - it's not a risk assessment but gives a good indication of anxiety related to balance when used with other measure #physiotalk |
| Hilary Gunn @hilsgunn @DonnchaLanePT @ADentonPU @physiotalk We have used it to guide/ tailor treatment in our MS falls trial- great to highlight various balance components!! Our fab tech built us one!! #physiotalk |
| #hellomynameis Adele @ABNeurophysio RT @DonnchaLanePT: @physiotalk @ADentonPU High Level Mobility Assessment Tool - one of a few outcome measures validated in the Traumatic Br… |
| South West ACPIN @ACPIN_SW What about other comorbodities contributing to falls risk? and how do we adapt our assessment and management to accomodate this? #physiotalk |
| Anita 🇮🇪🇪🇺 @anitareilly12 @physiotalk We undertake falls classes with our at risk groups. Work on floor to chair transfers where possible and educate regarding avoidable risks. Accepting disease progression/mobility decline and need for new aids can be a challenge so needs delicate approach on occasions #physiotalk |
| physiotalk @physiotalk A first reminder to remember the hashtag please - a few starting to creep through without! #physiotalk #physiotalk #physiotalk #physiotalk |
| Donncha Lane - Physio @DonnchaLanePT @CJNeuroPhysio @physiotalk @ADentonPU I quite like this as well - and validated in lots of populations……I often find patients balance confidence goes down with balance rehab in some cases - as their insight increases #physiotalk |
 | Danielle Munford @munforddanielle @hilsgunn @DonnchaLanePT @physiotalk So often patients blame themselves for falling! They say they feel like a burden on their family - often avoiding activity at all to reduce feeling like a burden #physiotalk |
| Susan Coote @susancoote @CJNeuroPhysio @DonnchaLanePT @physiotalk @ADentonPU psychosocial aspects v important to measure, and can be risk factors in themselves #physiotalk |

| Susan Coote @susancoote @MunfordDanielle @hilsgunn @DonnchaLanePT @physiotalk and many wont "admit" to falling in case people stop them from doing what they want to #physiotalk |
| Joe Middleton @_JoeMiddleton @physiotalk History taking, understanding of pathology, objective assessment (power, ROM, balance, function, cognition, sensory impairment), and so on. But determining the 'level' of risk isn't really the aim. #physiotalk |
| Angie Logan @logan_angie @ADentonPU @physiotalk #physiotalk I like the mini-BEST. Most measures tend to be for patients who are ambulant. The majority of my patients are immobile but can still have falls from chair/bed/toilet or during transfers. |

| Samantha Turner @mampy1985 @SophiaHulbert @physiotalk Completely agree- important not to lose sight of the great impact a fall can have on a pt's confidence, motivation and engagement in meaningful ADL's #physiotalk |

Often With my caseload you need to plan ahead as to where the patient might be in 4-6/12 as they don’t want/won’t see it.. equipment and environment adaptations prolong mobility but are often resisted #physiotalk |
| Kate Mccoy @physiocyclekate @physiotalk Kate from South Wales . Rather late #physiotalk |
| Donncha Lane - Physio @DonnchaLanePT @physiotalk Again it depends on the underlying issue(s) contributing to the fall……I think though if I can ‘sell’ the idea of moving more, outside, in a supported way - that their confidence increases as well as their balance - I’m onto something #physiotalk |
| Blaithín Hadjisophocleous @blaithin_h @gavoyannis @PhysioArmstrong @RebsPartridge More so that when they do fall they can safely get back up again. It also increases their confidence knowing that they can get up from the floor having practised it, so hopefully it prevents them from reducing their mobility due to fear #physiotalk |

| physiotalk @physiotalk RT @physiotalk: Q4. How do your patients and their families respond to falls and your interventions? #physiotalk |
| Danielle Munford @munforddanielle @physiotalk A lot of patients think they don’t need any intervention! Or they are ‘not old enough’ for falls Physio! #physiotalk |
| Ben Ellis @bendotellis @Jolockyear1 @_JoeMiddleton In my previous clinical role, I would say often not no. But I'm not convinced it was me that needed to offer it either in many cases, meeting intensity (eg >3h week) is reliant on patient being able to exercise without physio present #physiotalk |

| Hilary Gunn @hilsgunn @physiotalk Absolutely! Again ... I try and talk ‘safe mobility’ - ie more of what you want to do without being gung ho- thinking about being realistic and looking for small wins to build/ maintain motivation- falls progs are hard work #physiotalk |
| Jo Lockyear @Jolockyear1 Any students been involved in conversations regarding falls with family members #physiotalk |

| Angie Logan @logan_angie @physiotalk Important to consider the patient's readiness/ability to change. Using Patient Activation Measures/Motivational Interviewing techniques may help establish whether the patient is ready to take on board advice/Rx. #physiotalk |
| Joe Middleton @_JoeMiddleton @physiotalk @SophiaHulbert One of the great oxymoron's of modern healthcare! #physiotalk |
| George Gavoyannis @gavoyannis @Jolockyear1 #physiotalk from a non #AHP standpoint, I always remember being taken back by how much of a hit it has on the confidence of the person who suffered a fall. Had huge implications on social interaction and willingness to stay mobile |
| James Armstrong @PhysioArmstrong @MunfordDanielle @physiotalk It would also be interesting to look at Transtheroritcal model with this #physiotalk |
| Natalie Patterson @PhysioNatalie @MunfordDanielle @physiotalk on my outpatients placement i would often have to do the hard sell on fall programmes bigging up the general exercise over the falls part to get them to think it was beneficial to them. #physiotalk |
| Susan Cotton @susancotton18 @Leahdevlin1989 @JanetThomas47 @physiotalk just pop tweetdeck into your search engine and log into twitter from there. Def makes a difference #physiotalk |
| physiotalk @physiotalk RT @_JoeMiddleton: @physiotalk @SophiaHulbert One of the great oxymoron's of modern healthcare! #physiotalk |
| Kate Mccoy @physiocyclekate @physiotalk Well if it directly addresses their concerns . In the long term they have to maintain activity , exercise themselves and understand their own risks . #physiotalk |
| Donncha Lane - Physio @DonnchaLanePT @physiotalk @SophiaHulbert Perhaps for a very small minority……but hopefully this is something a thorough risk assessment will show the benefit of doing some movement over the risk #physiotalk |
| #hellomynameis Adele @ABNeurophysio @hilsgunn @DonnchaLanePT @DMGPhysio @physiotalk we do in the stroke part of our service but not ABI, @lindatremain34 let's start measuring reported falls #physiotalk |
 | Karen Stevens @onbalancephysio @DonnchaLanePT @physiotalk @ADentonPU HiMat great higher level scale for TBI helpful for those superficially "good" clients #physiotalk |
| Heather Hunter @hdhunter6 @MunfordDanielle @physiotalk Yes patient service user experience/ thoughts on falls always v interesting and throws up different views/ideas. Always good to get pt experience. Not always what we expect #physiotalk |
| Donncha Lane - Physio @DonnchaLanePT @PhysioNatalie @MunfordDanielle @physiotalk Perhaps we don’t need to separate it out…….either way it should be exercise - and selling it and delivering at the appropriate intensity, making it fun and engaging is key #physiotalk |
| Pamela Hansford @PamKHphysio @ACPIN_SW @physiotalk #Physiotalk Underlying problem for all stroke patients is asymmetry and imbalance (NOT a good and a bad side) but all populations are looking for optimal function Process starts with optimising base of support then working to promote balance & alignment in functional activity |
| Anita 🇮🇪🇪🇺 @anitareilly12 @physiotalk Tend to want to protect faller leading to reduced activity so education around falls risks and importance of mobility but “safely”.. If they can see you challenge the patient in therapy and know limitations can work well.. #physiotalk |
| South West ACPIN @ACPIN_SW What support is given to family members? What is their role in falls management? #physiotalk |
| Hilary Gunn @hilsgunn @PhysioArmstrong @MunfordDanielle @physiotalk There’s been some in the US/ Canada in MS but limited evaluation so far #physiotalk |
| George Gavoyannis @gavoyannis @VickiG_physio @Blaithin_H @PhysioArmstrong @RebsPartridge #physiotalk is there any write-up on this? Would love to read a bit more about it! |
| Danielle Munford @munforddanielle @physiotalk Absolutely! @PhysioArmstrong Lots more to come on this in PHY112 and PHY220 #Physiotalk |
| Donncha Lane - Physio @DonnchaLanePT @onbalancephysio @physiotalk @ADentonPU Yes - and I always tell my patients I would not get 54/54 - so not to worry if they don’t get top marks! #physiotalk |
| Caroline @cjneurophysio @physiotalk Usually relieved to have some explanation for their balance difficulties and to be able to work on improving their balance ability and confidence #physiotalk |
| physiotalk @physiotalk Less than 10 mins to go - so onto our next question... #Physiotalk |
| Jo Lockyear @Jolockyear1 @MunfordDanielle @physiotalk lack of Time seems to be a big barrier to falls engagment! how is this managed #physiotalk |
| Hilary Gunn @hilsgunn @PhysioArmstrong @MunfordDanielle @physiotalk Completely!! Absolutely key- with evidence from a range of conditions to support #physiotalk |
| James Armstrong @PhysioArmstrong RT @MunfordDanielle: @physiotalk Absolutely! @PhysioArmstrong Lots more to come on this in PHY112 and PHY220 #Physiotalk |
| physiotalk @physiotalk Q5. Are there neuro sub populations for whom falls management appears most/least effective #physiotalk |
| Philip Hulse @HulsePhilip @physiotalk Falling over really hurts generally speaking, as a relative of a faller due to progressive neurology I’m guilty of reducing risk through aids & adaptations which it seems reduces the challenge to balance skills & predisposes falling -it’s a fine line safety vs ability #physiotalk |

 | Ed Walsh @edwalshh @SophiaHulbert @physiotalk Have to weigh up activity + participation engagement with risk management. This will be pt specific - getting the right balance is key 😏 #physiotalk |

| Natalie Patterson @PhysioNatalie @Jolockyear1 yes with my mum every time my Nan falls! She seems to forget that she (mum) falls too, in fact only last week when walking the dog in the dark down a muddy bank. #impairedsenses #physiotalk |
| Donncha Lane - Physio @DonnchaLanePT @physiotalk Speaking from a TBI perspective - there is very little research out there to support management although Gavin Williams in Oz has done a lot re: development of the HiMAT and running retraining in TBIs #physiotalk |
| physiotalk @physiotalk @HulsePhilip Yes - I think a good question to consider for those with a progressive condition #Physiotalk |
| Jo Kitchen @JoFallsPhysio @physiotalk Happy to have problems addressed- esp environment. But relatives often worried ++ about falls and discourage activities #physiotalk |

| Susan Coote @susancoote @MunfordDanielle @physiotalk They don't like "falls prevention" in the title, our programme is called "better balance" balancing life, while improving balance #physiotalk |
| Natalie Patterson @PhysioNatalie @DonnchaLanePT @MunfordDanielle @physiotalk the title often puts people off, the normal response was "I don't fall often" #Physiotalk |
| George Gavoyannis @gavoyannis @VickiG_physio @Blaithin_H @PhysioArmstrong @RebsPartridge #physiotalk awesome thank you! |
| Donncha Lane - Physio @DonnchaLanePT @physiotalk Whilst not the holy grail for falls prevention - I would actively encourage all neuro physiotherapists to get skilled in vestibular assessment/treatment - as this is something physiotherapists can be really really good at! #physiotalk |

| Jo Kitchen @JoFallsPhysio @hilsgunn @DonnchaLanePT @DMGPhysio @physiotalk Very difficult- despite all interventions it’s about managing risk, even with best management and therapy input an individual will continue to fall. But we seem scared to look at the numbers in case they decide our service isn’t effective- which has happened #physiotalk |
| Joe Middleton @_JoeMiddleton @HulsePhilip @physiotalk Managing falls with progressive neuromuscular disease can be particularly tricky #physiotalk |
| Janet Thomas @JanetThomas47 @DonnchaLanePT @physiotalk But many avoid! A really important area #Physiotalk |
| South West ACPIN @ACPIN_SW Absolutely. This is certainly reflected in the @PlymUniPhysio undergraduate program #physiotalk https://t.co/18AkDO7ZIx |

| Hilary Gunn @hilsgunn @physiotalk Generally we need more evidence across the board! I find (as in other conditions) any cognitive elements always add a whole new level of complexity... #physiotalk |
| Rebecca Partridge @rebspartridge @DonnchaLanePT @physiotalk How often do you find you can use the HiMAT? Being so high level means I've only come across its use once and don't feel familiar enough with it! #physiotalk |

| Alice Brelsford-Ward @alicebrelsford @ACPIN_SW We aim to promote activity and exercise in the neuro community. Signposting to MS and PD specific exercise groups, and joint working in local gyms #physiotalk |
| Ben Ellis @bendotellis @physiotalk What type of falls management? For what falls outcome? There is little evidence for any interventions in neuro populations to reduce falls (that I know of), and little on reducing fear of falling too #physiotalk |
| Susan Cotton @susancotton18 @physiotalk @SophiaHulbert #physiotalk big challenge in our in patient area - mixed messages from within the MD- PT encouraging independence with risks minimised, others looking for stationary, immobile totally risk free environment. 'call don't fall' posters everywhere leading to dependence:( |
| #hellomynameis Adele @ABNeurophysio @physiocyclekate @physiotalk worth going back over whole transcript @physiocyclekate - loads of very wise people tweeting here plus insightful students one of the best tweetchats so far #physiotalk |
| Karen Stevens @onbalancephysio @DonnchaLanePT @physiotalk Often the missing piece of the jigsaw in TBI. #physiotalk |
| Hilary Gunn @hilsgunn @DonnchaLanePT @physiotalk And Quick gains if you identify/ treat BPPV #physiotalk |
| Pamela Hansford @PamKHphysio @physiotalk @physiotalk #Physiotalk Patients & their families are terrified of falls & really enjoy seeing confidence grow & sense of self restored as the person learns how to see challenges as problem solving opportunities, become more resilient, find new ways to build strengths |
| Philip Hulse @HulsePhilip @physiotalk It depends, how do you know how frequently the individual would have fallen without training? I haven’t improved with training vs I haven’t deteriorated because I’ve trained. #physiotalk |
| South West ACPIN @ACPIN_SW It certainly is! Thanks all #physiotalk https://t.co/ZA2QZM9veE |
| Donncha Lane - Physio @DonnchaLanePT @RebsPartridge @physiotalk I use it regularly……people have fallen doing it - that’s okay and that risk is assessed and explained before assessment. Always have a second person. Often its us as physios that are more apprehensive than the patient #physiotalk |
| Susan Coote @susancoote @gcliffordPT @physiotalk is the BEST maybe an exception to that - does a good job of unpicking cause of poor balance, while measuring #physiotalk |
| Joe Middleton @_JoeMiddleton @DonnchaLanePT @physiotalk Same for all physiotherapists working with older people. Something we are looking to up-skill in aren't we @chlocus (any tips on good resources/courses are welcomed Donncha!) #physiotalk |
| Ben Ellis @bendotellis @gcliffordPT @physiotalk depends on the OM. I would argue BESTest is an assessment primarily, it just happens to give you a number too (which I wouldn't worry too much about in practice) #physiotalk |

| Donncha Lane - Physio @DonnchaLanePT @hilsgunn @physiotalk Agree. Not sure BPPV is linked to falls directly as much as people might think….read an article a few months ago that suggested it did - but as well as treating BPPV all participants had a falls prevention prog! #physiotalk |
