Fall Risks in the elderly are a major concern because they can lead to serious injuries and impact overall health. As people age, they often face a combination of factors that increase their likelihood of falling. Reduced muscle strength, balance, and coordination make it harder to recover from a stumble. Vision problems can hinder their ability to see and avoid obstacles. Medications that cause dizziness and chronic conditions like arthritis or diabetes further contribute to instability. Additionally, environmental hazards such as slippery floors, poor lighting, and cluttered spaces increase the risk of falls.<\/p>\n
