Maintaining health in later life depends on our ability to be independently mobile but also safe. This is a major public health problem, as older people are vulnerable to injury, particularly those who have lost sight. This program of research will tackle the two major causes of injury to older people: falls and road traffic injuries. Innovative strategies are being comprehensively evaluated which stand to prevent injury and make a difference to the lives of many older Australians.
