As Kim et al (2015) indicate, falls are a significant health problem among the geriatric population. Falls in older adults causes serious injuries, reduce the level of independence, anxiety, reduced quality of life, and some injuries may lead to death (Kim et al., 2015). A high number of older adults sustain falls even in the community setting, while at home or while carrying activities such as shopping. Therefore, to prevent falls within the community setting, it is necessary to implement different strategies for all older adults to decrease the risk of falls in regard to falling or sustaining injuries related to falls.
