It is well-known that risk of falling is a very serious issue especially among the elderly. As we age our muscle strength and balance have a tendency to gradually deteriorate making falls more likely to occur. To make matters worse bone density or bone strength reduces with increased age meaning that the chances of a fall resulting in a bone fracture are also increased. One of the most common fractures that can result from a fall in the older adults are hip fractures which can take many months to recover from and may have a significant impact of the person’s function and independence.
