Geriatric Gait and Balance Clinic
In 1997, Dr. Kathye Light and Dr. David Lowenthal led the development of a multidisciplinary specialty clinic at the Malcolm Randall Veterans Affairs Hospital. The purpose of the Geriatric Gait and Balance Clinic was to address the needs of elderly veterans with gait and balance problems who have suffered from recurrent falls. Since 1997, our multidisciplinary clinic has grown in size, scope, and success and serves as a “Best Practice” model for reducing falls and assisting elders with balance control.
