Hi @robinhood8
All people as they age are prone to falls. For people like us, with Cerebral Palsy it is more common because of the problems with balance that are already there. Are you experiencing falls more regularly?

I am 47 , I have had issues with falling over quite a lot and then I have to physically crawl over to something sturdy to get myself upright again as I cannot do it otherwise .
I was at Disney last month and fell over down about 3 steps in the show ,3 x people had to get me back up on my feet .
