Falls risk assessment

Falls risk assessment is a process used to evaluate an individual's likelihood of falling, especially in older adults or those with health issues. It involves identifying factors such as medical history, mobility, balance, medications, and home environment that may contribute to the risk of falls. By understanding these factors, healthcare professionals can develop personalized strategies to reduce the risk, improve safety, and promote independence. This assessment aims to prevent falls, which can lead to serious injuries, enhancing overall well-being and quality of life.
