  • Preventive Medicine

Background:

  • Falls are the primary cause of injury, mortality, and disability in individuals over 65.
  • Fall-related injuries, such as hip and pelvic fractures, significantly impair recovery and independence.
  • Even minor falls can lead to a loss of confidence, reduced activity, and social isolation in the elderly.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a user-friendly fall prevention program for a geriatric home care population.
  • To encourage multidisciplinary assessment and intervention strategies for fall risk.
  • To prioritize patient quality of life through collaborative fall prevention efforts.

Main Methods:

  • Implementation of a collaborative approach involving clinicians and patients.
