Not sure if I have good advice, but I do know that falls happen when you least expect them--you're on your way to do something, or your mind is on something else. Once you learn to walk, walking becomes automatic, almost like breathing. When you get older, you have to learn not to take it for granted and concentrate on walking itself. So, if you're walking down the street or even across the room, focus on your path. Notice things like cracks in the sidewalk, a rug with a curled up corner, a shoe that's out of place, a cord where it shouldn't be, a dog toy that your dog dropped, etc. That last one messed up my ankle for awhile. Wear shoes that have very good support--always tie your shoe laces. Don't wear flip flops. Avoid icy walks. ALWAYS hold onto the handrail. Make sure you have nite lights especially on the way to the bathroom. I've taken some nasty spills--one with my dog that put me in the hospital with a fractured femur that ended my dog walking days. A fainting incident resulted in a fall that brought me to the hospital. A young occupational therapist suggested that if I felt faint again (I had no warning. It just happened.), I should maybe get on the floor to avoid falling! Unfortunately, when you get older, you really have to concentrate on walking--almost like you are driving. Be aware of things around you and of anything in your path. Slow down a bit and stay focused. Getting from point A to B safely is the goal.
