Article Abstract:

Fall prevention that is a major cause of disability and mortality due to injury in people over 75 years of age in the UK, is a key area of health promotion for all nurses who work with old people. It is suggested to use tEai chi for fall prevention, as it would enable nurses to look at the prevention interventions that they recommend and question the evidence for against their effectiveness.
