Particularly in old age, falls represent a significant health risk that many do not consider enough. Studies prove that about 1/3 of all people 65 or older fall at least once a year. 60 to 70% of these falls occur in the home environment.
That is why it is even more important to deal with the topic of falling early enough to minimize risk factors and prevent them accordingly. It is essential that fall prevention gains greater importance and adequate aid is provided.
