Falls are the number one cause of injury and disability among adults 65 and older. Personal Safety Alarms They can result in serious head injuries, hip fractures, and other injuries. Fortunately, there are things you can do to prevent falls and reduce the risk of them.
The first step in fall prevention is to make your home safe. Putting in non-slip flooring, using throw rugs on slippery surfaces, or installing grab bars can all help. If you have a bathroom, consider installing a hand-held shower nozzle. This way you can thoroughly clean the shower and avoid a sudden change in water temperature.
In general, the risk of falling increases with age and weakening muscles. For this reason, it is important to have good balance and be physically active. You may also want to get a doctor's opinion on what exercises you can do to improve your balance.
A recent study from the University of Mississippi found that the risk of dying after a fall at ground level is three times higher after age 70 than before. Adding an extra step to your exercise routine can help, as can wearing shoes.
It may sound odd, but seniors have the highest fall rate in the backyard. According to Robert Bunning, MD, of the MedStar National Rehabilitation Hospital in Washington, D.C., a nightlight in your bedroom can provide adequate lighting for you to visit the bathroom in the evening.
Getting into and out of a tub is another common fall hazard for older adults. Non-slip mats can be placed in front of the bathtub. Also, install handrails or grab bars near the shower and toilet to prevent falls.
