Abstract

Universally, falls are a major communal health problem. An estimated 4,24, 000 fatal falls occur each year, making it the second leading cause of accidental or unintentional injury deaths worldwide, after road traffic injuries. Over 80% of fall-related fatalities occur in low- and middle-income countries, with regions of the Western Pacific and South East Asia accounting for more than two thirds of these deaths [1]. A fall is defined as an event which results in a person coming to rest inadvertently on the ground or floor or other lower level. As a result it is usually avoided
