Summary
Falls represent an important and critical event for older persons. Falls due to trips, slips, and stumbles occur during the stance and swing phase of the gait cycle. They are initiated by a combination of intrinsic and extrinsic events. Intrinsic causes include age-related declines in visual, vestibular, proprioceptive, and musculoskeletal function. Extrinsic factors encompass environmental obstacles associated with foot-ground contact.
