Abstract:

The goal of understanding fall risk in the elderly, prevention and protection is to improve clinical and care satisfaction. Another anticipatory method that can be used to predict falling conditions is the assessment of the risk of falling in the elderly. The Hendrich Fall Scale (HFS) and Morse Fall Scale (MFS) are a form of assessment to anticipate the risk of falling in the elderly in nursing homes for patients. The aim is to determine the effectiveness of the Hendrich Fall Scale and the Morse Fall Scale with an assessment of the Risk of Fall in the Elderly. The research design used in this

Abstract Introduction Falls in the hospital is common. Morse Fall Scale was introduced in 2013 to Hospital Kula Lumpur as a tool for risk assessment in order that prevention strategies could be instituted in accordance to the falls risk. However, the rate of falls was on the rise in the last 5 years despite the use of the tool. The concern was that there is a lack of understanding in the use of the tool or that the scoring was not performed correctly by the nurses.

Abstract:

Falls among older adults and individuals with chronic conditions pose a major public health concern, leading to injuries, reduced quality of life, and increased healthcare costs. Identifying modifiable risk factors is crucial for prevention. Muscle strength, particularly in the lower extremities, and renal function, measured by glomerular filtration rate (GFR), are potential predictors of fall risk. Sarcopenia and chronic kidney disease (CKD) exacerbate muscle weakness, impairing balance and mobility. While the Morse Fall Scale (MFS) assesses clinical and environmental risks, it lacks physiolo

Abstract:

urpose: One of the cardinal symptoms of Parkinson’s disease (PD) is represented by postural instability and disturbed balance which can cause frequent falls in these patients. Indeed, the increased risk of falling in combination with osteoporosis puts PD patients at high risk for hip osteoporotic fractures. This study was aimed to evaluate the potential risk factors associated with fall-related hip fracture in individual with PD and 2) to determine the impact of the disease on the perioperative course and functional outcome of these fractures.

Abstract:

Currently, it is not known whether integration of functional performance measures is sensitive and feasible for use in acute care settings. This cross-sectional study explored the subjective and objective measures of the risks of falling, falls efficacy, and functional abilities for inpatients in an adult acute care unit. The Morse Fall Scale ( n = 30) and Timed Up and Go (TUG; n = 10) had excellent sensitivity (100%) for identifying participants with prior fall histories, while the St. Thomas Risk Assessment Tool in Falling Elderly Inpatients only had good sensitivity (87.5%).

This study aims to evaluate the association between patient falls and relevant factors and to quantify their effect on fall risk. This is a retrospective case–control study using the secondary data collected from a tertiary general hospital. Study subjects were 450 patients who were admitted to the hospital between January 2016 and December 2020. The prevalence of falls was associated with the fall risk level by the Morse Fall Scale (MFS) and individual status at admission including history of admission, dizziness, sleep disorder, bowel dysfunction, and urinary incontinence.

ABSTRACTPatient falls are a serious problem, contributing to the morbidity and mortality of the elderly patient. This study reports on the development of the Morse Fall Scale. The scale consists of six scored items and discriminant analysis correctly classifies 80.5% of the patients. Validation of the scale by computer modeling was conducted. Data were randomly split and that analysis procedure repeated. Variables were obtained and weighted using half of these data, and these weights were tested on the remaining data. Similar results were obtained. Sensitivity of the scale was 78% and the posi

Abstract:

Falls among older adults in healthcare facilities are a significant cause of injury and morbidity, with serious implications for patient health and healthcare costs. This article provides an in-depth review of falls risk assessment tools and prevention strategies, emphasising the multifactorial nature of falls, which include intrinsic factors such as medical conditions and extrinsic factors such as environmental hazards. The article discusses widely used risk assessment tools in the UK, including the Morse fall scale, Stratify, and the timed up and go test, and highlights the importance of a c
