Summary
The vast amount of literature on the many risk factors for falls and the various intervention options can make interpretation and implementation of the evidence difficult. This chapter overviews the research findings presented in previous chapters to assist the reader to integrate this information and use it to guide their own research and/or practice. It concludes with a brief review of select research issues that need to be addressed in the future.
