Description
Overview
Falls prevention is a variety of actions to help reduce the number of accidental falls suffered by older people. Falls and fall-related injuries are among the most severe and common medical problems experienced by older adults.
Injurious falls, including over 70,000 hip fractures per year are the leading cause of accident-related mortality in older people.
After a fall, an older person has a 50% probability of having their mobility seriously impaired and a 10% probability of dying within 12 months.
Falls destroy confidence, increase isolation and reduce independence, with around 1 in 10 older people who fall becoming afraid leave their homes or walk independently.
Training, supervision and tailored exercise programmes can reduce falls by as much as 54%.
