[Practices and strategies for the prevention of falls in the osteoporotic elderly].
Among seniors with osteoporosis, falls can cause devastating injuries such as hip fractures even with only weak impacts. We have begun a combined medical examination and educational program for exercise to prevent injurious falls. To make fall prevention practices more widespread, we hold one-day simplified fall prevention program and instruction courses for practitioners.
