  2. Get rid of throw rugs, and move electrical cords out of the way.
  3. Be sure you have good lighting where you are walking.
  4. Put grab bars in showers and bathtubs.
  5. Outside of your home, avoid icy or snowy sidewalks.
  6. Wear shoes with sturdy, flat soles.
  7. Get your eyes checked.
  8. Avoid too much alcohol.
  9. Exercise to help keep your strength and balance.
