Why Does My Elderly Mom Keep Falling? A fall is scary and can result in severe injury. In fact, falls are the leading cause of injury in adults over age 65. Although falls are quite common, there could be an underlying physical or medical condition causing her to fall repeatedly.
A shuffling walk increases senior fall risk. If your mom is shuffling, dragging, or generally not lifting her feet off the ground when walking, sheâs at greater risk of falling. Shuffling is a common cause of falls because sliding feet can more easily trip on rugs, door thresholds, or even slightly uneven surfaces. Older adults who shuffle are more likely to stumble because their shoes can catch on the ground.
