Answer these questions to help determine if you may have a balance or dizziness disorder. If you answer "yes" to one or more, you may be at risk. The best way to determine if you have a problem is to talk with your physician, or to give us a call to set up a balance screening test.

1. Have you fallen more than once in the past year?

2. Do you feel dizzy or unsteady if you make sudden changes, such as bending down or turning quickly?

3. Do you feel unsteady when you are walking, climbing stairs stepping up or down a curb?

4. Do you feel unsteady walking on uneven surfaces such as grass, gravel or sand?

5. Do you have difficulty sitting down or getting up from a seated or lying position?

6. Have you had a stroke or other neurological problem that has affected your balance?

7. Do you have numbness or loss of sensation in your legs and/or feet?

8. Do you use a walker or wheel chair, or do you need assistance to get around?

9. Are you inactive? (Do you walk or exercise less than 60-90 minutes total per week?)

10. Do you take medication for two or more of the following: heart disease, hypertension, arthritis, anxiety or depression?

If you can answer "yes" to one or more of these questions, you may be at risk for a balance or diziness disorder.
