Effectiveness of an improved fall risk assessment form combined with obstacle physical activity testing in preventing falls in older adults hospitalized patients
The application of personalized fall prevention strategies guided by a comprehensive assessment that combines a multidimensional risk form with a dynamic obstacle physical activity test is effective in reducing falls and injury severity among older adults hospitalized patients. This approach also enhances patient satisfaction, compliance, and quality of life, and is recommended for broader implementation in inpatient settings.
