Recenzii
'This extensively revised and updated third edition of Falls in Older People should be considered the authoritative resource for anyone who works in the field. Built around three main parts; risk factors, prevention and implications for practice, this text brings together the latest knowledge about systems and processes that affect balance, clinical trial evidence for prevention strategies in multiple settings and key issues in real world implementation. The authors provide an unbiased and comprehensive assessment of the state of the art in the field of aging and falls.' Stephanie Studenski, Professor Emeritus, University of Pittsburgh
'Fantastic to see a new version of your book is to be published shortly - I heavily rely on this textbook (and have it listed as a recommended reading) for my physio gerontology course at UQ!' Anna Hatton, University of Queensland
'The third edition of Falls in Older People is an excellent handbook and reference guide with up-to-date information on the etiology of falls and innovative approaches to preventing them in different settings.
