This fear may cause them to limit their daily activities, resulting in reduced mobility and physical fitness, and thus increasing their risk of falling again.For the majority of older adults, falls and balance problems are due to weakness in the lower extremities. Nearly 70% of all falls, however, can be prevented with safe and regular exercises
