Falls are a major threat to the health and independence of older adults aged 60 and older, being the leading cause of injury deaths and nonfatal injuries. Nearly one-third of older adults experience a fall, and about one out of ten falls among older adults result in a serious injury, such as a hip fracture or head injury, that requires hospitalization. In addition to the physical and emotional pain, many people need to spend at least a year recovering in a long-term care facility. Some never return to their homes.
