The most widely accepted paradigm for fall prevention in community-dwelling older adults consists of three sequential stages: screening for high fall risk, assessment of multiple risk factors for those at high risk, and implementation of a tailored intervention [3]. The initial screening protocol serves to focus time and financial resources on those subjects at increased risk, and to spare low-risk subjects unnecessary inconvenience. The protocol should be short and easy to administer. The subsequent multifactorial assessment is intended to identify the risk factors to be targeted by the intervention.
