A Trial of an Improved Fall Risk Assessment and Activity Test to Prevent Falls in Elderly Inpatients

Inclusion Criteria: * Inpatients aged 65 and above. * Identified as being at risk of falling upon admission screening (defined as having at least one of the following: history of a fall in the last 6 months, use of a walking aid, or observed gait/balance instability). * Able to provide informed consent or have a legal guardian provide consent. Exclusion Criteria: * Acutely life-threatening conditions or severe cardiorespiratory instability that would preclude any mobility testing. * History of a severe fall-related injury (defined as a fracture or head injury requiring hospitalization) in the past 6 months that currently limits mobility assessment. * Non-ambulatory or bed-bound patients. * Patients with severe dementia (e.g., Mini-Mental State Examination score \< 10) or diagnosed psychiatric conditions (e.g., psychosis, severe agitation) that would prevent cooperation. * Expected hospital stay of less than 48 hours.
