Falls and broken bones are costly health problems among the elderly, even more so when there is a growing older population aged over 65 years. In Australia about 1 million older people have at least one fall each year and about 40-60% will sustain major injuries including broken bones. Therefore there is a need to identify effective ways to reduce falls and improve outcomes of those who break a bone, especially of the hip.

福尔斯和骨折是老年人中代价高昂的健康问题，当65岁以上的老年人口不断增长时，情况就更是如此。在澳大利亚，每年约有100万老年人至少跌倒一次，其中约40-60%的人会受到严重伤害，包括骨折。因此，需要确定有效的方法来减少福尔斯并改善骨折者（尤其是髋部骨折者）的结果。
