4 videos • 24 views • by Aidacare - Mobility & Healthcare Equipment Falls are the leading cause of injury-related hospitalisations for over 65s with at least 1 in 3 people over 65 in Australia experiencing a fall each year. Even though falls in the elderly population can be dangerous, these risk factors can be minimised through the use of fall prevention strategies such as implementing balance exercises for seniors, upgrading and installing fall prevention structures or using assistive technology equipment. April Falls Prevention Week is aimed at educating and providing assistive technology options to help prevent falls into the future. There is a range of aids and equipment that can help minimise the risk of falling in the home. Our team of local Equipment Specialist can take you through a selection of fall prevention devices and demonstrate their application within the home environment.
