Tripping and falling can happen more if you have knee problems like osteoarthritis or if there are other unexplained reasons. It's important to understand why it happens to stay safe.
Tripping and falling can be caused by different things. One reason might be knee problems, like osteoarthritis. This condition makes your knees hurt and can make it easier to trip. When your knees don't work well, it's harder to catch yourself if you start to fall.
Another reason could be unexplained falls. These are falls that don't have an obvious reason. It's important to figure out why these happen to avoid getting hurt.
If you notice you are tripping and falling more than others, it's a good idea to talk to someone who can help figure out why. They can help you find ways to stay safe and prevent falls.
