Abstract
Fall accidents of aged hospital inpatients have become an increasing problem as the average age of inpatients is increasing. In this study we examined the relationship between the score evaluated by the assessment score sheets of falling, the physical functional test and fall incidence among risk II patients. Our study shows that these three factors are related to the risk of falling. The Functional Balance Scale and the maximum walking speed for 10 meter were used to evaluate physical functions. We believe that by using this clinical evaluation it is possible to decrease the number of inpatients falling during their hospital stay.
