A few plain questions suggest a conservative path. This is not a fall-risk score, a diagnosis, or medical clearance — and it uses simple rules, with no hidden scoring. You always decide, and you can choose a gentler path any day.
First, a quick safety check
Please tick any that apply to you right now:
Please pause and speak with a healthcare professional before doing standing balance activities. You ticked something that deserves a professional's look first. This check can't assess it, and it will not suggest a path here — the right next step is a conversation with your doctor. For chest pain or pressure, fainting, severe breathlessness, or sudden weakness, speech, or vision changes, seek urgent or emergency help right away.
Once a professional is comfortable with you starting, you're welcome to return.
Gentle first steps
Remember: this is only a suggestion, chosen by simple conservative rules. You decide where to begin and can choose a gentler path any day. It will never tell you that you are “cleared,” low-risk, or safe from falling.
