Falls continue to be a leading cause of injury and death in geriatric patients/clients and those with neurological disorders. One of the most disabling, yet preventable, causes of falls is a fear of falling. Patients/clients report a diminished quality of life when fear of falling is present even without a history of a fall episode. This course will focus on identifying at-risk patients/clients, regardless of the clinical setting, providing strategies to communicate with patients/clients regarding their fear and interventions to incorporate into clinical practice to reduce the fear of falling.
