"Self - Rising
Falls"
Videotape narrated by
Dorothy C.
Chrisman
Musical advisor,
John D. Chrisman,
pianist
Running time: 25 1 / 2 minutes |
The
challenge and significance of off-balance experiences affect
everyone throughout life. This
issue is one of the most serious health care problems of the
adult. All people should maintain skills to lower themselves safely
to the floor and to recover to an upright position from a floor
level. This video
addresses falls and recovery through discussion and demonstration
of various methods to safely approach the floor and rise from the
floor so that emergency situations will be less traumatic.
This is the first video to show how older adults respond to
falls and recovery training.
The average age of the BODY RECALL students in
the video is 80.
In
addition to the video, a cassette tape is available that includes
Dorothy Chrisman coaching Self-Rising
Falls, the incentive piece included in the video.
Musical accompaniment for Self-Rising
Falls is on side B of the cassette.
A booklet with explicit directions for the musical piece is
part of the total package. All
of the falls and recoveries described in the Ninth Edition
of BODY RECALL: A Program of Physical
Fitness For Adults
by Dorothy C. Chrisman are demonstrated in the video.
