| Annotation | Prevention of falls in the community is successful in trial settings, but translation into practice remains a challenge. This article critically reviews the randomised controlled trial (RCT) by Logan and colleagues described elsewhere in this issue of the British Medical Journal, comparing it with other similar studies. While the study showed a significant benefit to people at high risk of falls, the challenge is to enable ongoing referral and take-up in practice. Lindy Clemson suggests that further studies are needed. (RH). |
