(Health-NewsWire.Net, January 21, 2016 ) Titusville, FL -- Falls are the primary cause of injury-related emergency cases in the United States, according to a study involving elderly patients published in 2000 by The American Family Physician (AFP) on its website. Falls are also considered the primary cause of accidental fatalities for people older than 65. Different approaches are recommended to manage the risk of seniors falling: better nutrition to improve bone health, retrofitting the house, and using assistive devices such as fall prevention pad or alarm. The Syrtenty® Chair Alarm helps to reduce the risk of falls among elderly patients.
Better nutrition normally centers on strengthening the bone structure of elderly patients. Osteoporosis is known to be a big risk factor for falls because weakened bones usually lead to fracture and sometimes to untimely death.
Retrofitting living space can involve installation of handrails in the bathroom and bedroom, non-slip flooring materials, and additional lighting. However, retrofitting entails cost and it cannot be done overnight.
Using Syrtenty® chair alarm is a quick and affordable way to help manage the risk of falling. Using bed and chair alarms is part of the holistic treatment suggested by caregivers; in addition, structural intervention is also suggested for domestic homes where elderly patients reside.
For domestic caregivers, using a chair alarm or a fall prevention pad is a convenient way to manage the risk of falls while preparing for the significant cost of retrofitting the house.
Using the Syrtenty® Chair Alarm is a step that can be taken in addition to improving the nutritional intake of elderly patients at home. Diet can be improved by ensuring adequate calcium intake for promoting stronger bones. Better bone health helps to reduce fractures and helps the elderly to recover faster from falls.
The Syrtenty® Chair Alarm helps to prevent and to reduce the incidence of falls among wheelchair-bound patients by sounding an alarm when the chair alarm and sensor pad stop detecting the patient. The alarm notifies caregivers to go to patients and to provide their needed physical assistance. The urgency created by the Syrtenty® Chair Alarm helps to reduce falls by preventing them from even happening.
