Falls and mobility impairment: generating and testing equitable solutions to implement and scale-up
Description: Injuries from falls cause 135,000+ Australians aged 65+ to be admitted to hospital each year—at a cost of $2.3 billion. Difficulty or inability to walk 200 metres is reported by 1.2 million Australians. We know that exercise can make a big difference. We don't how to embed exercise and other interventions into health and aged care services in a sustainable way. This project seeks to develop and evaluate solutions to falls and mobility impairment that can be made broadly available.
