Published/Copyright: January 9, 2015

Einleitung

Evidenzbasierte Maßnahmen zur Sturzprävention stehen bereits zur Verfügung. Vielmehr geht es nun um erfolgversprechende Strategien, diese Maßnahmen nachhaltig in kommunale Strukturen einzubetten und damit der gesamten älteren Bevölkerung, in Abhängigkeit von deren Bedarf, zukommen zu lassen. Sturzprävention und Steigerung der körperlichen Aktivität im Alter kann nicht Aufgabe vereinzelter Institutionen sein. Sie muss als gemeinsame Herausforderung aller kommunalen Akteure verstanden werden.

Summary

Evidence-based interventions for the prevention of falls are available. However, little is known about promising strategies for successful and sustainable implementation into a wider community. Fall prevention and increase of physical activity in old age cannot be the task of single institutions. This challenge has to be considered as a shared endeavour of a whole local community
