Fall prevention
According to the definition, a fall (Sturz) refers to a sudden, uncontrolled, unintentional descent of the body from lying, sitting, or standing to a lower level. Unfortunately, both the frequency and consequences of falls increase with age. Falls in older adults are by far the most common cause of injuries and the leading cause of accident-related deaths. The reasons for this are varied, ranging from declining sensory organs to coordination impairments and muscular deficits.
In the unit on fall prevention, the causes of increasing fall risk are thoroughly explained, and measures are presented to help reduce the risk of falls and positively influence gait, posture, coordination, and strength. Targeted training is particularly important for seniors, as it helps maintain autonomy and subsequently, quality of life. Participants also learn about tests for assessing fall risk and the methodical development of different training focuses in fall prevention.
