An elderly has had a fall at home. apart from seeing a doctor to check for underlying heart, neurological problems etc, what kind of doctor should i take them to see to check if there's further musculoskeletal injury?

Same doc: Same doc would look for significant musculoskeletal injuries, such as fractures and/or hematomas. Injuries such as contusions or bruises will be only observed. A physical therapy eval by rehab medicine or physical therapy may help if significant weakness present as the person who suffered the ball may benefit from physical therapy.
