Falls in the elderly are frequent. A study carried out over 6 months in a university hospital's acute geriatric unit highlighted the real walking capacities of hospitalised elderly people. It also changed the perception of caregivers, doctors and nurses with regard to the real physical aptitudes of these patients enabling the risk of falls to be reduced in preparation for their return home or to a residential care home.
老年人跌倒很常见。在一家大学医院的急性老年病科进行的一项为期6个月的研究突出了住院老年人的实际行走能力。这也改变了护理人员、医生和护士对这些患者实际身体能力的看法,从而在为他们回家或转至养老院做准备时降低了跌倒风险。
