Falls Prevention Programmes
What Is The Importance Of Falls Prevention Programmes important?
According to the National Registry of Diseases Office (NRDO) of Singapore in 2012 there was as many as 277 falls per 100,000 people and it is known that the incidence rate sharply increases with age. These falls can lead to injury and fractures and the probability of having significant reduced mobility and a feeling of more vulnerability is high. Some have to resort to a wheelchair or end up bed bound and without help remain like this.
A falls prevention programme can reduce falls by over 50% if created to suit the individual. The programme helps to address any hazards in the home, related medical problems and increase strength, mobility, flexibility, coordination and balance. At Health2u we recommend, backed by evidence, that 2-3 sessions of exercise should happen a week for 6 months with some sessions being with the physio and others on your own with your family or carer.
Why choose Health2u’s Falls Prevention Programme?
- We offer 3 different levels of programmes
- Tailored to the individual rather than a generalised programme
- Carried out in the individuals home or care home
- We work closely with carers and family members to ensure carry over of the exercises between physio sessions
- We progress the exercises to ensure continued improvement
- One to one sessions enable us to challenge you
- Practice of getting up from from the floor safely (as if had a fall)
