A fall, whether on level ground or on the stairs, often has serious consequences – especially for senior citizens.
Injuries such as spinal fractures, fractures of the neck of the femur, bruises and sprains are often the consequences of a fall. What is often forgotten, however, is the less obvious side effect – the fear of falling again.
This can be answered very quickly and easily. If you answer “yes” to at least one of the following questions, you are at risk of falling.
Fall prevention includes measures to avoid and prevent falls.
This includes the environmental and personal measures mentioned below as well as training in the correct use of aids.
Regular movement exercises to maintain and/or improve the patient’s balance and musculature are also very important.
Because movement is the body’s own medicine and helps to prevent falls.
As with the causes, the measures are divided into environment-related and person-related.
Statistically speaking, no. People who live in institutions have a significantly higher risk of falling than people who live at home in familiar surroundings.
Around 50% of people living in institutions fall once a year – more than 40% even fall several times a year.
The risk is almost twice as high in the first few months after the move, as those affected are not yet familiar with their new surroundings.
There are a variety of aids available to prevent falls, especially on stairs. These help you to climb the stairs more safely and help you to avoid potential fall accidents on the stairs.
However, previous solutions often contribute to passivising the person affected and, in the worst case, make them even more insecure when climbing stairs.
The TOPRO Step stair climbing aid helps to mobilise the person concerned and provides the necessary safety and support when climbing stairs at home.
TOPRO Step is the innovative stair climbing aid developed and produced in Norway and offers the necessary safety and support that those affected need when climbing stairs in their own home.
The TOPRO Step stair climber is a cheaper alternative to a stairlift and helps those affected to remain active and mobile.
