Abstract
Falls are a common cause of admission to a geriatric unit, and yet the approach to the elderly faller remains unsatisfactory. This article outlines the epidemiology of falls, the age-related physiological changes that may contribute to the risk of falling and the classification and causes of falls, and discusses the evaluation and management of this problem.
