Brief Summary     Every year, one in three individuals over the age of 65 and 50% of those over the age of 80 experience a fall. Between 20 and 30 percent of these patients will sustain moderate to severe injuries that make it difficult for them to remain at home, need hospitalization, and have a higher chance of dying. More than 581,000 of the 2.2 million older persons who had nonfatal fall injuries treated in emergency rooms in the United States in 2009 were admitted to hospitals. Existing literature has found a number of variables linked to older persons’ adoption of fall prevention strategies. Sex, age, education, living and health state, socioeconomic situation, cognitive impairment, depression, limited mobility, awareness of fall prevention, and prior experience with falls are some of these. Fall prevention has become an important field of research due to the rising frequency of falls and fall-related injuries. The approach to fall prevention is similarly multimodal because each patient (and each fall) is unique and may involve several distinct factors.Typically, teams of geriatricians, physiotherapists, and occupational therapists carry out all preventative initiatives (NICE, 2015). These experts collaborate on the development, implementation, and explicit assessment of fall-prevention techniques used in clinical settings. Exercise has been proven to be a beneficial fall prevention method. Physiotherapists are qualified to prescribe exercises with the goal of preventing falls. Additionally, comprehending the fall-prevention knowledge and practices among the elderly is essential for conducting successful falls prevention programs and might aid in knowledge transfer to other developing nations. Understanding the perceptions of senior citizens to Fall risk may help tailor fall interventions and could improve adherence to recommended interventions. The purpose of this study is to evaluate older persons’ knowledge and practice of fall prevention.
