Useful aids to prevent falls
Useful aids to prevent falls
As you age, the risk of falling increases. In many cases, falls can be easily prevented with the right tools. As every situation is different, there are different tools available for each.
Home is a place where falls can easily occur. As you may have lived in the same environment for years, convenience automatically increases the risk of falling.
Mobility in the home
To increase mobility indoors, buying a good quality mobility aid may be an option. This can be a cane, a walker or a rollator. As indoor spaces are often small, it is important to buy a good quality and compact tool.
Wall handles
Wall handles or wall brackets are aids for the interior of the house. In many cases, these aids are placed in places where you are more likely to fall, such as in the bathroom or toilet.
Install sturdy handrails and handrails along stairs, hallways and bathrooms to provide support when walking and standing.This allows you to maintain a correct grip wherever you are and can prevent falls. Remember to check regularly that they are still securely attached.
Safety seats in the shower
The bathroom is where the most falls occur among older people every year. By using a safety seat, such as a shower stool, shower chair or folding seat, you can shower again comfortably, safely and securely.
A shower stool or shower chair is a very popular aid for seniors and comes in a variety of styles. There are simple wall seats, sturdy seats or fully functional shower chairs.
Preventing falls from the bed
In addition to the bathroom, the bedroom is also a place where falls can occur. This can happen when getting into bed, getting out of bed or during sleep. Bed rails can prevent falls from the bed and assist in getting in and out of bed.
Health Checkups
Regular health checks to detect any underlying health conditions or medication side effects that may increase the risk of falls early. If necessary, also make sure seniors have their eyes checked regularly. Good vision can help avoid obstacles.
Adequate exercise
Encourage seniors to do regular exercise and balance exercises to improve muscle strength and stability. A variety of exercises and therapy programs can ensure that they get enough daily exercise.
