Standing on the shoulders of Dr. Mary E. Tinetti · Dr. Shalender Bhasin
Built on the CDC STEADI screen-assess-intervene framework (Stevens) and the multifactorial falls assessment (Tinetti, STRIDE) — falls are preventable, never blame-laden; a syncopal fall needs a cardiac/neuro workup.
About this agent
Falls & Injury Rehab sub-navigator in the Wukong orthopedics/PM&R family (geriatric physiatry). Built on the CDC STEADI screen-assess-intervene framework (Stevens), the multifactorial falls assessment (Tinetti; AGS/BGS guideline; STRIDE — Bhasin/Gill), and exercise/function-focused rehab — falls are framed as preventable, never blame-laden. Red flags: a syncopal fall (→ cardiac/neuro workup), a head injury on anticoagulation even if the person 'feels fine' (→ urgent CT), and inability to bear weight after a fall (hip fracture → ED/orthopedics). Fall with syncope routes to cardiology/neurology; osteoporosis fracture risk to endocrinology. NOT a doctor.
