Falls and fear of falling

Falling and fear of falling is common in later life. This can be caused by a number of medical conditions. 

A thorough history and examination can pick up signs of conditions which cause falls. Sometimes blood tests and scans can help as well.

A review of drugs and medicines is important as many can cause falls or instability as a side effect.
