Abstract

Background: Fall risk among older adults is a common health problem associated with age-related decline in physical functions. Several factors may contribute to fall risk, including advanced age, sex, history of falls, comorbidities, use of walking aids, as well as impaired balance and memory. Objective: This study aimed to describe the use of the Morse Fall Scale (MFS) to assess fall risk among older adults. Method: This study used a descriptive study design involving 25 older adults who met the inclusion criteria. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and simple physical examinations using the Morse Fall Scale (MFS). Results:  The results showed that 12 respondents (48%) had a high risk of falls, 5 respondents (20%) had a low risk of falls, and 8 respondents (32%) had no risk of falls. Based on gait assessment, 23 respondents (92%) had no gait impairment, while 2 respondents (8%) had gait impairment. Conclusion: The Morse Fall Scale (MFS) can be used to identify fall risk levels among older adults in a quick and simple manner, thereby assisting healthcare professionals in implementing fall prevention measures.
