I mean the verb "fall", is it correct?

Introduction: Ageing is a natural and physiological process that represents the passage of time for an individual, where the emotional, psychological and environmental experiences make this process different for each person. Among the changes related with age are somatosensory, vestibular and visual system alterations. Objective: This study aims to show the benefits of physiotherapy as prevention of falls caused by changes in ageing. Material and method: This review was carried out through research in scientific articles between 2000 and 2010. Amongst 27 articles found, 18 were selected that fit with the proposed objective. Results and discussion: States that with ageing, the core strength, the equilibrium, the cardiovascular endurance and motivation all tend to diminish, resulting in a decrease in the functional independence of the individual. There is greater susceptibility to falls in the elderly who have ailments or infirmities, especially those that lead to changes in mobility, equilibrium and postural control; and with the falls being directly correlated to the degree of incapacity. Conclusion: Physiotherapy programs will help to prevent falls in the elderly, with corresponding improvements in equilibrium, consequential to the increase in muscle strength, flexibility and joint mobility. Notes: Line 3 : age - def. article “the” is not required Line 5 : physiotherapy - def. article “the” not required Line 10, 13 : the elderly – def. article “the” is required aging and ageing : both spellings acceptable "This study aims to know" ? Surely it meant to say "This study aims to show....." This literature review : the word literature is understood, it is therefore not necessary Vocab and wording changes: (1) inside strength - better to use internal strength, or core strength ( core strength is more technical ) (2) Line 9 : strength, motivation etc. do not decay, matters decay - hence more appropriate to use diminish

What do you mean by falls? Do you mean false?
