Not Falling Fall Prevention Strategies: Roadmap for Patients and Caregivers - Paperback

Each year, one out of every three adults over the age of 65 falls. These can result in serious injury and disability. This alone would justify focusing on the problem. The additional burdens of pain and suffering, loss of independence, the experience of fear, loss of self-esteem, and the real financial costs to the individual, the caregivers, and to the community, demand that we make a greater effort to reduce falls in the elderly. This book presents an accessible, comprehensive, and effective strategy to do exactly that.
