A Long-Running Social Initiative for Elderly Mobility and Safety
The สูงวัยไม่ล้ม program, a cornerstone social activity of the Samrong Ruamjai Foundation (มูลนิธิสำโรงรวมใจ), promotes effective balance and gait rehabilitation to prevent falls among Thailand’s elderly. Using locomotor therapy principles, this program enhances mobility and independence, reducing fall risks for community-dwelling seniors.
