Fall risk is a research area focused on identifying and understanding factors that increase an individual's likelihood of experiencing a fall. This can include studying physical factors such as strength, balance, and mobility, as well as environmental factors like slippery floors or poor lighting. Researchers in this area work to develop interventions and strategies to reduce fall risk in populations at higher risk, such as older adults or individuals with certain medical conditions. The ultimate goal of fall risk research is to prevent falls and minimize the associated injuries and health complications.
