Falls Prevention

Falls Prevention refers to a set of strategies and practices aimed at reducing the risk of falls and related injuries, particularly among vulnerable populations such as older adults or individuals with certain health conditions. The goal of falls prevention is to enhance safety and improve quality of life by minimizing the likelihood of falls through various interventions. These may include environmental modifications (like eliminating tripping hazards), exercise programs to improve balance and strength, education on safe mobility practices, and regular health assessments to identify and manage risk factors. Effective falls prevention focuses on individual needs and incorporates multi-faceted approaches to create safer living environments and promote independence.
