Falls are not an inevitable part of ageing.

The video below, demonstrates the timed up and go test, which helps to assess whether a person is at an increased risk of falls.

This is one way to assess a person's falls risk, but it you're concerned about falling, it is recommended you seek a full and comprehensive falls assessment from a qualified healthcare professional, such as a Physiotherapist.
