The fear of falling can sap a person’s ability to stave off a fall. We talk to Dr. Kelly Westlake from the Claude D. Pepper Center at the University of Maryland School of Medicine who is testing how to reduce the fear. And to Dr. Jason Falvey, director of the Center for Disability Justice, whose research probes the inequities of rehabilitation and how to improve rehab access and support.
