Media Reviews
'I have nothing but praise for this monograph. The Australian authors - a physiologist, a physiotherapist and a lecturer in foot mechanics and gerontology - recognized that textbooks have dealt with falls superficially and that no-one had methodically analysed and interpreted the published work. They write elegantly and apply academic rigour to the data, highlighting the gaps and uncertainties in our knowledge and generously providing many research ideas for readers to pursue.' Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine
'Chapters whilst heavy with facts and figures, are very readable ... clearly written yet containing enough depth to satisfy the scientific mind. I think the book would appeal to any healthcare professional with an interest in falls prevention, either from a theoretical or practical standpoint.' Dementia
'The quality of the book is good and it is a good buy for psychiatrists, primary care physicians, geriatricians, orthopedic surgeons, physical and occupational therapists and domiciliary nurses.' Saudi Medical Journal

Steven Boonen, Clinical Rheumatology

'... provides all the information in a very handy and readable form that anyone setting up a falls clinic could wish for ... this is a book written by experts who have first hand experience of the academic and practical issues involved in identifying patients at risk and the interventions needed to prevent further falls.
