Narrative:

20 mi east of fwa, descending through FL250 at 250 KTS with the seat belt sign on. We were currently experiencing continuous light chop and we were deviating to the south of a small cell when we encountered moderate turbulence. I called the flight attendants to make sure that they take their seat for their safety. Our #1 responded on the interphone and said that they were already seated. I was glad to hear that, and I appreciated their initiative. A little later she came to the front and was crying and said that she had fallen in that brief turbulence encounter and she wanted to be taken off the trip. I asked the #2 to take charge of the cabin and I told #1 to relax and take a seat for the rest of the leg. I asked her if she could walk and she said yes, but it hurt. I told her that we would coordinate with ord for medical assistance and a replacement flight attendant. The rest of the flight went as briefed. No other crew members reported injuries. No passenger reported injuries. The aircraft was not overstressed. I had cup of water on my side panel that did not spill, however, the brief encounter with turbulence was moderate. I asked all capable crew members to file a report as required.
