In today's world, healthy aging and a fulfilling lifestyle are
important to older members of society, with many opting to remain
as independent and mobile as possible for as long as possible.
However, elderly individuals tend to have a variety of functional
limitations that can increase the likelihood of debilitating falls
and injuries. Assessments of functionality are very often only
performed following an accident, which implies a hindsight bias
because results do not necessarily reflect pre-accidental
performance capacities. Furthermore, these belated measures do
little to reduce the likelihood of new falls. As such, it is
imperative that personalized preventative approaches are taken to
prevent falls. Integrated Care and Fall Prevention in Active and
Healthy Aging contains state-of-the-art research and practices
related to integrated care, fall prevention, and aging throughout
areas ranging from medical to social aspects of care, health
economy, standards, pathways and information scopes, practices and
guidelines, technology, etc. Covering topics such as active care
and healthy aging, it is ideal for doctors, gerontologists, nursing
home and long-care facility staff, scientists, researchers,
students, academicians, and practitioners working in care pathways
involving good practices of fall prevention in home care and
community care settings.
