This was a bit of a tricky question, believe it or not. You can break this question down into two different categories:
1. Short-term tips
2. Long-term tips

The reason for the two categories is due to the nature of the question. If you want to avoid falls now, meaning in the current time and present, then there are steps to take that are explained in this video that will help you or loved one avoid an unintended fall. Such as visiting a social gathering or going to a restaurant that may have a long walk with changing and uneven surfaces in order to get to the table. However, if you are looking to avoid falls in the long term, there are tips you should do everyday that will greatly reduce your risk for a fall. For example, a short-term tip would be to make sure you are using a cane if it makes you feel more confident and helps you maintain a consistent gait. A long-term tip would be along the lines of doing strengthening exercises for your legs and core in order to stabilize yourself. This type of tip takes time and would be very beneficial, possibly even reducing your need for a cane, in the long-term.
