Abstract

Falls and funny turns are very common in old people, and many clinicians feel at a loss as to how to deal with them. Over the past few years, there have been important advances in our understanding of the causes of falls and how best to manage these in the vulnerable elderly population. Given the magnitude of the problem, it is important that such research finds its way into clinical practice.
