: Falls are the second leading cause of accidental or non-intentional deaths worldwide and are the most common problem as people age. The primary purpose of addressing falls is to detect, prevent, treat, and reduce their incidence and consequences. Previous studies identified that multifactorial programs, an interprofessional team, and assistive technology are required to address falls in older adults effectively. Accordingly, the research question is as follows: what are the scope, type of studies, and approaches and strategies to fall risk using technology in the existing occupational therapy literature regarding interventions to address the effects of falls in older adults on daily living? : This scoping review was carried out in January 2020 through , C.I.N.A.H.L., Cochrane Plus, OTSeeker, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science. : Twelve papers were included. We analyzed the year and journal of publication, authors' affiliation, and design of the study, and thematic categories. There were three themes: participants' characteristics, type of intervention, and fall approach and type of technology used. : The literature obtained is scarce. It is considered to still be an emerging theme, especially when considering the use of technology for occupational therapy.
跌倒（Falls）是全球范围内导致意外或非故意伤害死亡的第二大原因，也是随着人们年龄增长而最常见的问题。解决跌倒问题的主要目的是检测、预防、治疗和降低其发生率和后果。先前的研究表明，多因素方案、跨专业团队和辅助技术是有效解决老年人跌倒问题所必需的。因此，研究问题如下：在现有的职业治疗文献中，关于针对老年人跌倒影响日常生活的干预措施，使用技术来降低跌倒风险的范围、研究类型、方法和策略是什么？ 这项范围性综述于 2020 年 1 月进行，检索了 、C.I.N.A.H.L.、Cochrane Plus、OTSeeker、PubMed、Scopus 和 Web of Science。共纳入了 12 篇论文。我们分析了研究的年份、期刊、作者的隶属关系和设计，以及主题类别。有三个主题：参与者的特征、干预类型以及使用的跌倒方法和技术类型。 获得的文献数量较少。考虑到技术在职业治疗中的应用，这仍被认为是一个新兴主题。
