Several evidence-based interventions have been shown to be effective in reducing falls:
- Exercise Programs: Programs like Tai Chi and strength training improve balance, coordination, and muscle strength. - Home Safety Assessments: Conducting home safety assessments to identify and mitigate fall hazards. - Medication Management: Reviewing and optimizing medication regimens to minimize side effects that increase fall risk, such as dizziness or sedation. - Vision Care: Regular vision check-ups and the use of appropriate corrective lenses. - Vitamin D Supplementation: Ensuring adequate vitamin D levels to enhance bone health and muscle function.
