Any action you take to reduce the chance of an accidental fall is considered fall prevention. We commonly talk about it regarding older adults, but anyone with mobility challenges or neurological conditions that affect balance or strength can benefit from a fall prevention plan. Fall prevention doesn’t have to be costly or require a complete remodel of the environment. Much of fall prevention happens at the personal level, from increasing balance to identifying physical limitations. Seniors face greater fall-related health risks than younger adults. In fact, falls are the leading cause of death in those aged 65 and older. Fall prevention may be an effective way to decrease accidental death in seniors.
