What can you do to prevent falls?

Falls usually happen because of the combined effects of a number of factors such as loss of balance, slow reflexes, side effects of medicine, impaired mobility or vision, and environmental hazards.

Simple home modifications and exercises that improve strength and balance can help reduce the risk of falling.
