Falls in the elderly
If this happens to you or your parents :
- Bend one leg to roll to the side
- Lie on your stomach
- Get on your knees
- Use a chair to get up.
- There are alert solutions such as the "panic button" which allows you to call your loved ones. This button can be worn either as a watch or as a pendant.
- Don't hesitate to ask a physiotherapist for advice on how to make the right gestures and train with him.
Some figures
on falls in the elderly
- According to the Health Insurance, falls of elderly people concern 1/3 of the people over 65 years old and one person out of two over 80 years old
- Falls are responsible for 12,000 deaths per year among the elderly and are the leading cause of death among people over 65.
- Every year in France, more than 400,000 elderly people fall accidentally
- On average, an elderly person in a nursing home falls twice a year... 50% of nocturnal falls are not detected in nursing homes
- The longer the time spent on the ground, the greater the associated "post-fall" pathologies...
- 1/12 of these falls cause a fracture, 1/3 of which cause a fracture of the neck of the femur
