Dear sir
Went through your post I understand your concern about your mom, there are possibilities of of cervical spondylosis which can cause vertigo and falls, Parkinsonism can also lead falls but is associated with tremors and rigidity, in addition there is possibility of osteoporosis which can cause fracture with mild trauma, so consulting a neurologist will be helpful.
