Frequently Asked Questions
Fall prevention in the elderly refers to medical and lifestyle strategies used to reduce the risk of falls and related injuries in older adults by addressing balance issues, bone health, medications, and environmental hazards
Elderly people are more prone to falls due to age-related changes in balance and muscle strength, chronic medical conditions, medication side effects, vision problems, and cognitive impairment.
Falls in the elderly can be prevented at home by ensuring proper lighting, using non-slip mats, installing grab bars in bathrooms, performing balance exercises, and undergoing regular medical assessments to identify fall risk early.
