It is estimated that dizziness, vertigo and falls are the third most common complaints heard by physicians from all age groups, only proceeded by headache and lower back pain. These symptoms, however, are the number one complaint of patients aged 65 years and older. Given the exponential growth of this older cohort group worldwide, this is a significant and growing segment of the population. This older population is also confronted with numerous medical comorbidities complicating their management with the increased prevalence of falls, which represent considerable morbidities and mortality, with balancerelated falls being the number one cause of accidental death for this population.
