In recent years, the frequency of falls has increased., Every third person faces a fall in old age, and every second person falls in the age over 85 years. Only a multifactorial and personalized approach to each patient will be able to reduce the risk of falling due to the peculiarities of this category of patients and the multidirectional genesis of the fall syndrome. The decision on the choice of tactics should be made by a group of specialists, and the assessment of the effectiveness of the measures used should be carried out in dynamics with due adjustment if necessary.
