What are the most serious consequences of a fall?
A fall can be very serious and result in a range of injuries, including broken bones. Some of the most serious injuries include hip fractures, head and spine injuries, and injuries to the arms and legs.
The most common injury from a fall is a hip fracture. More than 300,000 older people are hospitalized each year for hip fractures.
Medical alarm Another serious consequence of a fall is a concussion, which can lead to brain fog and other problems that can affect the ability to concentrate. It may take a few days to months to have the effects of a concussion disappear.
Ear injuries can also occur from a fall. These less common injuries can include a concussion to the cochlea, which can lead to hearing loss and tinnitus.
Other conditions that can occur after a fall include Meniere’s syndrome, which causes excessive movement of fluids in the inner ear. There are no known treatments for this condition, but medications can help control the symptoms.
Physical conditions, drugs, and environmental hazard are all factors that increase the risk of falls. For example, use of certain medications can cause a person to lose his or her balance and increase the chance of falling.
The most important thing for older adults to do after a fall is to be proactive about letting doctors know about any new or changing medical or other problems that could have caused the fall. This can help prevent future falls and ensure that older patients get the care they need to be healthy and independent.
