Readable and authoritative, Understanding and Preventing Falls
provides a guide to the nature and extent of the problem of falls.
Drawing on the latest research, the authors outline the combination
of environmental factors that commonly lead to falls and explore
how to prevent them. The case is made for a multifaceted approach
to falls prevention, taking account of the complex interplay that
exists between individuals and the environment. Broad in scope, the
book is divided into two parts. The first part examines the current
state of knowledge and understanding of the causes and prevention
of falls, with chapters on human ambulation and balance on level
surfaces and on steps and stairs followed by chapters exploring
vision and the effects of aging. Rounding out the coverage, the
second part contains a series of case studies illustrating how
falls occur in different circumstances and varying approaches to
their prevention. While there have been reductions in the number
and severity of injuries from other causes over recent decades, the
incidence of injuries from falling has remained consistently high.
However, many falls are preventable. This unique resource supplies
a concise overview of how to minimize the occurrences of slips,
trips, and falls in a variety of situations and conditions.
