摘要
An increasing proportion of oldest old persons (over 80 years) accompanies the demographic change. Furthermore, the gender ration will also change and the percentage of older men will increase. Mobility is an important factor for maintaining independence and for healthy aging. Mobility has to be regarded in the context of individual and environmental factors. With increasing age, the risk of mobility limitation increases. Next to mobility, falls are also a drastic experience for older persons and cannot only have physical consequences like injuries but also psychological consequences as fall-related psychological concerns. These psychological consequences can produce negative behavior e.g. reducing physical activity. © 2020 Lippincott Williams and Wilkins. All rights reserved.
