With the gradual aging of the body, the elderly are prone to inadvertent falls. For young people, it may be just a small bump, but it is fatal for the elderly! The danger is far higher than we imagined!
According to the World Health Organization, more than 300,000 people die from falls every year in the world, half of whom are elderly people over 60 years old. In China, falls have become the first cause of death due to injuries among the elderly over 65 years old. The problem of falls in the elderly cannot be ignored.
Falling is a serious threat to the health of the elderly. The biggest impact of falling is that it will cause fractures, the main parts of which are hip joints, vertebrae, and wrists. Hip fracture is called "the last fracture in life". 30% of patients can recover to the previous level of mobility, 50% will lose the ability to live independently, and the mortality rate within six months is as high as 20%-25%.
In case of a fall
How to minimize physical damage?
Once the elderly fall, do not rush to help them up, but deal with them according to the situation. If the elderly are conscious, need to ask carefully and check carefully of the elderly. According to the situation, help the elderly up or call an emergency number immediately. If the elderly are unconscious with no relevant professional around, do not move them casually, so as not to aggravate the condition, but make the emergency calls immediately.
If the elderly have moderate to severe impairment of lower limb function and poor balance ability, the elderly can carry out daily travel and exercise with the assistance of intelligent walking assistant robots, to ncrease walking ability and physical strength, and delay the decline of physical functions, prevent and reduce the occurrence of accidental falls.
If an elderly person falls down and is paralyzed in bed, he can use the intelligent walking robot for rehabilitation training, changing from a sitting position to a standing position, and can stand up at any time without the assistance of others for walking exercises, which will achieve self-prevention and reduce or avoid injuries caused by long-term bed rest. Muscle atrophy, decubitus ulcers, decreased physical function and chances of other skin infections. Intelligent walking robots can also assist the elderly to walk safely, preventing and reducing the risk of falls.
Wish that all middle-aged and elderly friends can all live a healthy life, and be happy in their later years!
