This checklist helps you look at some of the common factors that may be putting you at risk of falls, and we hope it can help guide useful conversations and early action. It’s a simple way to work through potential risk areas, from balance and strength to home hazards, and note anything that may need follow-up.

It’s not a test or formal assessment, just a practical tool to help you understand what’s going on and where support might help.

It’s particularly relevant for people with focal dystonia affecting posture or limb control, as these changes can sometimes affect safety and confidence in movement. We recommend reviewing it with your GP, physiotherapist, occupational therapist, or support team.

Important note: This checklist is a general guide and is not a substitute for clinical advice. For personalised support, please speak with your GP, physiotherapist, or another qualified health professional.
