Preventing Falls, Patient Safety
Approximately 300,000 people a year experience serious falls in Switzerland.
The majority of these accidents occur near-by or in the home. And they are unrelated to any particular activity. Falls are the most common type of accident among the elderly.
Such accidents are not extremely serious, but falls can cause pain, reduce mobility and increase fear of falling again.
People also fall while in hospital.
This video is intended for patients and their families. It has been made to help prevent, and inform about, the risks of injury during hospitalization.

I am researching on this and doctor said eating less may increase risk of falls which is in fact may be true.

Grown man: "I can do it." "I know my body." Nurse let go of his hand for 2 secs. *falls on his ass* Moral of the story: When the guy says he can do it, he knows his body, you march him back to the wheelchair.
