Falls research focuses on studying the causes, risk factors, prevention, and interventions related to falls, particularly in older adults. This research area investigates the impact of falls on health outcomes, such as injuries, hospitalizations, and mortality, as well as the economic and social implications of falls. Researchers in this field aim to develop effective strategies to reduce the rate of falls and improve the outcomes for individuals who have experienced a fall. Some common areas of study in falls research include balance and gait assessments, strength training interventions, home modifications, and the role of medication management in fall prevention.
