USEF Community Orthopedics Lab

Keeping older adults on their feet, by bringing proven falls and fracture prevention into the places our community already gathers.

Our mission

This lab exists to stop a single fall from being the moment an elder’s independence ends.

Prevention that works already exists. It simply never arrives where our families are. So this lab takes it to them, into the mosques, community centers and gathering places where our elders already are, in the languages they speak, at the times they can come. Then it measures what changes, to the same standard any clinic would.

It is a young lab, established in 2026 alongside the Center, and it is building its team now.
