Multifactorial Fall Risk Assessment

Multifactorial Fall Risk Assessment is a comprehensive process used to identify why someone might be at risk of falling. It looks at various factors, such as medical conditions, medications, balance, strength, vision, and environment. By evaluating these areas, healthcare providers can understand an individual’s specific risks and develop personalized strategies to prevent falls. This approach recognizes that falls often result from multiple causes, so addressing each factor can significantly reduce the chance of experiencing a fall and promote safety and independence.
