Abstract
According to the changes in the epidemiological characteristics of TSCI, preventative strategies should be readjusted. We should pay more attention to the risk of low falls of the elderly. The authors recommend that stricter regulatory practices and safety measures should be developed alongside infrastructure improvements to reduce, and perhaps prevent TSCI.
