What a great piece of work! Falls - and the fear of falling - can have a huge impact on the lives of children & adults with #DCD #dyspraxia but is rarely considered in falls guidance. That needs to change! Thanks @JohnnyParr for steering this excellent project.

Big thanks to the team (on Twitter) who put this together! @Sam_Wood05 @Sallydyspraxia @Toby_Ellmers @RSM_biomechs @BenMarshallPsyc @Callumr_Jarvis @m_o_mohamed @Greg___Wood

📢 Despite clear evidence of elevated fall risk, DCD is absent from fall-prevention guidelines. DCD may represent an independent risk factor of falls in later life that warrants greater attention.
