Mark Grabiner studies how and why aging makes us more apt to fall and ways to make us less vulnerable.
In clinical trials, Grabiner has trained middle-age and older women to avoid falling as a result of tripping. This has been shown to reduce their risk of sustaining a trip-related fall in everyday life by 50%.
