Are You at Risk of Falling?
Approximately ten people fall every minute of the day. Today’s mobility aids are the best ever offering so many options. Whether you need minimal assistance up to maximum help to remain engaged, we’ve got a mobility solution for you.
Age: the risk of falls increases with age.
Motor disorders: walking and balance disorders are frequent with advancing age. Caused in part by muscle wasting, these problems often lead to falls in the elderly. It is recommended to equip oneself with a walking aid, such as a cane or a walker.
Sensory capacities altered by aging: decrease in vision (cataract, presbyopia, age-related macular degeneration, decrease in visual acuity), hearing disorders (reduced visual field), cognitive disorders.
Orthostatic hypotension: a drop in blood pressure when the person changes position too quickly.
Medications that may reduce alertness, quality of vision, etc. Taking more than 3 or 4 medications from 3 classes at the same time (cardiovascular, psychotropic, analgesics) also increases the risk of falling.
Prevent the Fall, Prevents the Call
Every twenty seconds another senior adult dies from a fall in the USA. Emergency rooms treat fall victims at a national rate of 1 every eleven seconds. Falling is scary, especially as we age. The good news is you can and should arrange your home to reduce the threat and impact from falling. If you have fallen, it’s important to report it to your doctor and take the necessary steps to prevent future falls.
