Fall Risk Assessment
Definition of Fall Risk Assessment as it relates to Health, Geriatric Health
Fall Risk Assessment pertains to the evaluation of an individual's likelihood to experience a fall, particularly in the context of geriatric health. It involves a systematic process of identifying and quantifying various risk factors that contribute to falls, such as muscle weakness, poor balance, vision problems, medication use, and environmental hazards. The assessment aims to predict the probability of falling, guide preventive measures, and ultimately reduce the incidence of falls and associated injuries in older adults.
