Are You or a Loved One at Risk of Falling?
As we age, the risk of falling becomes a serious concern. Did you know that one in four Americans over the age of 65 falls each year? These falls can lead to serious injuries, loss of independence, and a lower quality of life. But here’s the good news: falls can be prevented, and at Upperline Health – Somerset, we have the latest technology and treatments to help keep you or your loved ones safe. Upperline Health’s Life in Balance fall prevention program uses state of the art technology to develop a plan for you or loved one that can keep you on your feet and balanced!
Understanding the Risk: Why Falling is a Big Deal
Falling is one of the biggest health problems for older adults. For those over 65, the risk of falling increases every year. And if you’re over 80, that risk nearly doubles! A fall can lead to broken bones, hospital stays, and even the need for long-term care. But it doesn’t have to be this way. By understanding your risk and taking action, you can stay safe and independent for longer.
What Increases Your Risk of Falling?
Many things can increase your risk of falling. Some of the most common include:
- Weakness in your legs and feet
- Balance problems
- History of falling
- Numbness in your legs and feet
- Pain in your feet or legs
- Poor footwear choices
- Trouble walking or standing up from a chair
If you have any of these issues, you may be at a higher risk of falling. But don’t worry—there’s something you can do about it!
