While many older people fall causing injury and loss of confidence, people with vision impairment and blindness have a dramatically increased risk of falls. In the PlaTFORM study we will deliver and comprehensively evaluate a falls prevention program through instructors with specialised training in orientation and mobility. This fills a gap in services and if effective will prevent injury in this vulnerable population and promote mobility.

虽然许多老年人跌倒导致受伤和失去信心，但视力受损和失明的人福尔斯的风险大大增加。在PlaTFORM研究中，我们将通过在定向和移动方面接受过专门培训的教师提供并全面评估福尔斯预防计划。这填补了服务方面的空白，如果有效，将防止这一弱势群体受伤，并促进流动性。
