In recent years the evidence base for prevention of falls in older people has increased and associated with this has been an inevitable expansion in clinical services which attempt to localize and implement what is described in the literature. This article reviews the basic physiology implicit in maintenance of the upright posture; highlights the diversity of medical and non-medical risk factors associated with falls; describes the clinical assessment of an older person at risk of falls; reviews the evidence for intervention in the prevention of falls in older people; and acknowledges the need for a clear strategic direction to successfully prevent falls and the requirement for ongoing research as well as much needed service evaluation.
