Final Wikipedia addition BY ALVARO MONTIJANO

As I am going to state in the following lines, I think my additions and the final content of the article fill Wikipedia's content gap as the information is detailed and linked to the title (Fall Prevention). I added a lot of information regarding stroke recovery exercises, as well as about the section about support from friends and family. I think those were not spoken at all and I consider they are a really important fact when it comes to falls and help. About sections that were not there before, as I also removed some content that was unnecessary because it did not apport anything new or was not linked t the topic. I used more than 15 new sources to rely on the information I add and I also added pictures to exemplify what I wrote. Everything in the article has a reliable backup source and compares it all to other information previously written. The information I added as the following:

- I added the "Fear of falling (Basophobia)" and cited it, located first on the "Risk factors of falls" - Added citations on the "Healthy young individuals" - Added the "Limitations in mobility" citations and content to the "older adults" section. - Added Reduced muscle strength" citation and content to the "older adults" section. - Added "Poor reaction time" citation and comment to the "older adults" section. - Added the whole section and citations of the "Stroke recovery" - Added the whole section of "Support from close people" - Added all citations and last paragraph of the "Safety Technology" section. - I removed the “Lighting” section as I think it is not important information. Normally accidents happen at home and the elderly already know where everything is and always have the lights on. - I wanted to add a picture of a senior park at span but it had copyright. - Added the whole "exercises for prevention" paragraph. - Citations added where needed (there were some facts with no backup sources that did not make it reliable until I cited them). - I improve previous paragraphs like “Risk factors of falls“ and “Safety Technology” - Corrected many spelling mistakes that were in the original article.

Below are all my APA citations I used in the article:
