Summary
Despite the strong evidence that many falls are preventable [1], there has been a failure to implement prevention evidence into routine clinical practice across the population of older people. Lack of uptake and adherence to effective fall prevention programmes is well documented. For example, reported participation rates are as low as 6% for balance-promoting activities among older people in Australia [2].
