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%.
