Mobility Changes and Impact with Aging

Falls are the leading cause of injury among older adults, affecting 1 in 4 Americans over 65 each year. This module explores the key factors influencing mobility with aging, evidence-based tools for assessing fall risk, and interprofessional strategies to help older adults maintain their independence. As we age, mobility becomes increasingly complex, shaped by the interplay of physical, sensory, cognitive, and environmental factors. Normal aging brings predictable changes to muscles, joints, balance, and vision, while conditions like osteoporosis and dementia can accelerate that decline.
