Zusammenfassung

Ein Sturz ist ein Ereignis, bei dem eine Person unbeabsichtigt zu Fall kommt. Stürze sind dabei nicht als Erkrankung, sondern als Ereignisse bzw. Unfälle aufzufassen. Das Sturzgeschehen ist ein geriatrisches „Kernsyndrom“, d. h. es ist Folge verschiedener Krankheits- und Alterungsprozesse und gehört zu den dominierenden Problemen hochaltriger Menschen. Ärztliches Handeln sollte neben der Behandlung sturzbedingter Verletzungen darauf gerichtet sein, Stürze und sturzbedingte Verletzungen zu verhindern. Hierfür ist ein Verständnis für das Zusammenspiel von intrinsischen, extrinsischen und situativen (Risiko-)Faktoren notwendig.
