Falls refer to incidents where a person unintentionally drops to the ground or a lower level. They can occur in various settings, such as homes, workplaces, or public spaces, and are often caused by factors like slippery surfaces, uneven ground, or loss of balance. Falls can lead to injuries ranging from minor bruises to severe fractures, particularly in older adults. Preventing falls involves implementing safety measures, such as using handrails, ensuring proper lighting, and removing obstacles. Awareness and education about fall risks are essential, especially for vulnerable populations like the elderly or those with mobility issues.
