Help! I'm falling.......................

Walking is very difficult thing to do. we nead about a year to learn how to walk. Walking involves moving and balancing on two legs and it becomes more difficult when one is frail. This is more worrisome in the older person as injuries such as hip fractures are more severe. There may also be psychological trauma leading to fear of further falls, culminating in a person with restricted mobility and consequent social isolation.

The people that have high risk to fall:
1. Muscle weakness, gait or balance problems. Their risk is three times higher.
2. Previous recent falls.
3. Poor vision, arthritis, or gait problems requiring walking aids.

To prevent from the fall we should:
1. do exercise to maintain the strength and maintain of muscle
2. take care your eyesight
3. If you have recurrent falls, you should present yourself for further assessment.
