The results from this work may be used to develop a wearable inertial sensor based multifactorial fall risk assessment system for identifying older individuals at risk of falling reliably for proactive fall prevention, thus help to reduce the fall risk for not only improving the quality of life of the general elderly population, but also reducing costs in healthcare systems.
Older adults may, for example, need to train balance skills that will help to reduce the fall risk.
The goal was to ask staff to reduce the fall rate by 10%, and the staff indicated that they felt pressured.
The objective of this article is to describe the design of a randomised controlled trial that aims to reduce the fall risk in older persons with a high risk of falling.
As a consequence, successful programmes should not only target concerns about falls but should also focus on aspects like increasing self-efficacy and a sense of control regarding the risks of falling, setting realistic goals for increasing activity, changing the environment to reduce the fall risk and promoting physical activity to increase strength and balance [ 15- 19].
9 Although both group exercise and Tai Chi training targeting strength, balance, and flexibility can largely reduce the fall rate and fall-related injuries among community-dwelling older people, 8, 10, 11 previous studies on group exercise and Tai Chi training have examined the effect on physical performance with conflicting results.

Four strategies are applied to obtain these goals: (1) restructuring misconceptions to promote a realistic view of fall-risk and making concerns about falls controllable; (2) setting realistic goals for increasing activity and safe behaviour; (3) adapting the environment to reduce the fall-risk; and (4) promoting the uptake of daily life activities that are avoided owing to concerns about falls.
33 The results of our study indicate that training with the Wun-Jo device shows promise in reducing the fall risk by improving balance and strength.
In analysis of each food item, vegetables with light green leaves reduced the fall related fracture risk whereas root vegetables and seaweeds increased the risk.
Conclusion A service to prevent falls in the community reduced the fall rate and improved clinical outcome in the high risk group of older people who call an emergency ambulance after a fall but are not taken to hospital.
That greatly reduced the falls but made it hard to get about the garden without rethinking how to get around outside.
