Fall Management
A fall is defined as an ‘event which results in a person coming to rest inadvertently on the ground or floor or other lower level.’ Across the globe, falls are one of the most critical health concerns with an estimated 646,000 fatal falls occurring each year. Once we accept that people will continue to fall despite reduced risks, it then becomes important to consider our reaction to that fall and the impact our response or actions have on the person’s long-term health and well-being.
