    Sturzneigung

    [med.]
    Sources
    Auch eine Muskelschwäche oder Gleichgewichtsstörung kann die Ursache für eine erhöhte Sturzneigung sein, die in jedem Fall ärztlich abgeklärt werden muss.

    Soweit ich beurteilen kann, genau das wonach es klingt:
    Regelmäßige Stürze durch pathologisch bedingten Mangel an motorischer Kontrolle... aber kann mir wer den Fachbegriff sagen?
    Schonmal vielen Dank,
    Drul

    PS: Der Begriff reicht, nicht den gesamten Beispielsatz

    I can't think of a technical term, but "being at increased risk of falling" would be a non-technical version. "Falls prevention" (or fall prevention) is a recognised term for what to do about falls - there's even http://www.fallsprevention.co.uk/default.asp

    I don't know if a search for falls prevention would get you anywhere?

    why not simply a "tendency to fall (over)"?

    Thx a lot...ok, sorry, I could have thought of that myself, but I'm still somehow assuming that if it's multiple words, and there's a preposition in it, it can't be a medical term - well, this might even be true in german...
