NCT00130624

Brief Summary

The study aims to determine whether multidisciplinary assessment of community-based patients, who have had at least one previous fall, reduces the rate of further falls and fall-related problems. The study also aims to determine whether such an intervention, if effective, is best carried out in a primary or secondary care setting.
