反覆跌倒的病人最直接的風險因子在於移動功能與平衡感。透過步態（Gait）與平衡評估（如 Morse Fall Scale 或 Berg Balance Scale），能找出跌倒的根本原因（如肌力不足、神經問題），進而給予適當的輔具或物理治療。
Gait and balance assessments are the most critical for clients with a history of falls because mobility issues are the strongest predictors of fall risk. Evaluating these functions helps identify specific deficits, such as muscle weakness or neurological problems, allowing for targeted interventions like physical therapy or assistive devices.
