The Risks of Falling

Each year over 3 million people are treated in the emergency room for falls in the US alone. For 1 out of 5 seniors who experience a fall, the result will be a serious injury. These injuries may be made worse by conditions such as osteoporosis (a condition that weakens the bones making them more susceptible to breakage).

Once a hip is fractured, less than half of the patients ever regain their mobility to the extent it was before the fracture.

Falls are the leading cause of traumatic brain injury in seniors. While brain injury is serious, even lesser injuries are no joke. Each year at least 300,000 people are treated for hip fractures, and once a hip is fractured less than half of the patients ever regain their full mobility the same extent as before the fracture.  Many patients suffer through a long recovery period or even lose their independence as they can no longer care for themselves as they used to so cannot live alone. And what’s more, a fractured hip is most likely to lead to other injuries, and sometimes even death.
