Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the risk for falls among elderly Emergency Department (ED) patients.This study will use 2 tests of balance, the Bertec Balance Screening Test and the "Up and Go" test. These tests measure how steady a person is while standing, walking, and turning 180 degrees. After patients have returned home, they will be contacted at 7 days, 30 days and 6 months to determine if they have sustained a fall during these intervals in order to find out how predictive the balance tests are in determining the risk of future falls.
