The falls risk calculator helps you to check your risk of falls by evaluating your balance, lower limb strength and how you perform in activities of daily living. These functional tests are recommended for older adults, above 65 years or age and can be done safely from the comfort of their own home.
If you have scored 4 points or more, you may be at risk of falling.
