Falls Prevention Monitoring

Falls and fall-related injuries are a major global public health burden, leading to loss of independence, disability, and psychological distress. The World Health Organisation rank fall related injuries as the third leading cause of ‘years lived with disability’.
 
The cost of falls and fractures is substantial; direct health care and associated social care costs in the UK have been estimated at £2 billion per annum, mostly associated with hip fractures.
