The elderly population will continue to increase with time. When the body function declined one of the problem that were faced by the elderly was a decline in cognitive function and an increased risk of falling. Cognitively impaired elderly people are at twice the risk of falls compared to cognitively intact. One out of every three adults of ages 65 years and older falls each year. In the elderly who have fallen, they could experience mild to severe injuries, and even if they’re not injured, become afraid of falling. This fear may cause a person to cut down on their everyday activities. When a person is less active, they become weaker and this increases their chances of falling Goal.
