摘要：

The prevalence of falls and associated injuries increases with age and dependency. The highest occurs among individuals living in long-term care institutions. Preventing falls results in reduced physical and psychological morbidity as well as having cost-saving implications. This review explores both uni- and multifactorial approaches to reducing fall rates and risk in individuals in long-term care, as well as highlighting the differences in this group from community-dwelling individuals.
