Test smoke alarms monthly, but never climb on a chair or steps to reach them. Use a broom handle or ask someone. London Fire Brigade offers free home fire safety visits.

Forget your home exercises? Link them to something you do daily, like after brushing your teeth or during a TV ad break. Ask your physio which ones suit you.

Autumn storms can bring power cuts. Keep a torch, not candles, by your bed and chair so you never walk in the dark. Rely on powered equipment? Ask about the free Priority Services Register.

Ataxia affects balance and coordination. Slowing down, standing with feet a little wider, resting forearms on the table and taking rest breaks may help some people. Sudden new unsteadiness? Call 999.

Carers: a one-page health summary can help in emergencies and at new appointments. List conditions, medicines, allergies, communication needs, mobility aids and key contacts. Update it often.

Weaker bones break more easily in a fall. UK advice is to consider 10 micrograms of vitamin D a day from October to March. Strength exercise may help too. Ask your GP or pharmacist first.

After spinal cord injury, overreaching from a wheelchair can tip your balance. Brakes on, move close, use a reacher and keep everyday items in reach. Ask your physio to teach safe reaching.

Poor sleep can add to MS fatigue. Regular bed times, a cool room, less caffeine later and gentle stretches as taught may help some people. Spasms or bladder waking you? Tell your MS team.

Parkinson’s medicines often work best taken on time. Phone alarms, a pill organiser and a spare dose when out may help. Never change or stop doses yourself — ask your Parkinson’s nurse.

After a stroke or TIA, the risk of another one is higher. Taking medicines as prescribed, checking blood pressure, staying active and stopping smoking may help. Signs of stroke? Call 999.

Using a walking frame? Step into it rather than pushing it far ahead. To stand up, push from the chair arms instead of pulling on the frame, unless your physio advises otherwise.

Doing balance exercises at home? Hold a sturdy chair or a fixed worktop, never a chair on wheels, a wobbly table or a towel rail. Ask your physio what support suits you.

UK clocks go back on Sunday 25 October. Before the darker evenings, check lamps, plug-in night lights and outside lights work, and try to plan walking practice in daylight.

Recovering from Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is often slow. Building up gradually, pacing your day and avoiding overdoing it may help some people. Worsening weakness or trouble breathing? Call 999.

Carers: after a brain injury, some people get frustrated or irritable more easily. Staying calm, lowering noise, keeping a routine and stepping away when needed may help. Tell the GP or rehab team.

Painful or numb feet, long nails and loose slippers can make walking less steady. Check your feet, wear shoes with a back and a grippy sole, and ask your GP about podiatry if you need help.

Leg and foot swelling is common after spinal cord injury. Raising legs as advised, changing position and checking straps and skin may help. One leg suddenly swollen, warm or red? Get advice the same day.

With MS, the right walking aid may save energy and help you stay active. Holding furniture, more trips or going out less? Mention it to your physio, who can assess the type and height for you.

Parkinson’s can make dressing slow and tiring. Sitting down, laying clothes out in order, easier fastenings and dressing when medication works well may help some people. An OT can suggest aids.
