Caiguda accidental

Caure és l'acció en que una persona o animal perd l'estabilitat i acaba en una posició més baixa, sovint a terra. Així la caiguda accidental o caiguda per accident és la segona causa de mort accidental a tot el món i una de les principals causes de lesions personals, especialment en persones grans.^[1] Les caigudes en adults grans són una classe important de lesions prevenibles. Els obrers de la construcció, electricistes, miners i pintors són ocupacions amb altes taxes de caiguda lesions.

L'exercici a llarg termini sembla disminuir la taxa de caigudes en la gent gran.^[2] El 2015 es van produir uns 226 milions de casos de caigudes accidentals significatives.^[3] Aquests van provocar 527.000 morts.^[4]
