Occupational therapists are essential in reducing fall risks through individualised falls prevention interventions. By assessing an individual’s environment, functional mobility and daily routines, occupational therapists identify potential hazards and develop strategies to enhance safety and independence.

Interventions may include home modifications, education on safe movement techniques and use of assistive devices. Whether for older adults or individuals with mobility challenges, occupational therapy empowers people to stay active and confident while reducing the risk of fall related injuries.
