growing fall prophylaxis for seniors
falls are an increasing risk for older people, which also increases the fear of falls. This fear can lead to avoiding movement and thus increase the risk of falling and restrict the quality of life. The preventive approach to fall prophylaxis includes numerous measures for the active prevention of falls. It is important to create a safe and barrier -free home environment, the examination of the existing medication and the use of technical aids.
Regular implementation of special exercises and the identification and remedial of fall risk factors are central goals of fall prophylaxis. According to Deutschee-hausnotruf.de , 30 % of the over 65 year olds fall back every year, which is due to physical changes such as weaker muscles, declining eyesight and a reduced sense of balance. The most common causes of falls include equilibrium disorders, general weakness and visual disturbances.
In order to minimize the risk of falling, simple measures such as the creation of good lighting conditions, avoidance of stumbling blocks and the purchase of a house emergency call can be important. Regular movement promotes well -being and reduces the risk of falling, which is why it is advisable to integrate targeted exercises into everyday life.
