Summary

A 70-year-old man was referred because his balance had deteriorated in recent months. While he had only occasionally fallen over the previous 3 years, he now described a strong and consistent tendency to fall backward. He planned to retire as soon as possible partly because of this issue, but also because his productivity at work had decreased. His wife noted that he had been uncharacteristically impatient at home, but denied any memory difficulties.
