Fall Risk Assessment

Fall Risk Assessment is particularly important for older adults, individuals with mobility impairments, those with a history of falls, and patients recovering from injuries or surgeries that affect mobility.

Common risk factors assessed in the Fall Risk Assessment include previous falls, balance impairment, medication usage (sedatives or antihypertensives), cognitive impairment, visual deficits, and environmental hazards.

Fall Risk Assessment is typically conducted using standardized assessment tools, questionnaires, and physical examinations. Healthcare professionals may also review medical records, conduct medication reviews, and assess the individual's home environment for potential fall hazards.
