It’s freezing outside, but the emergency department is busy. A middle-aged woman just fell down wearing high heels, and her knee was too painful to move, so I felt the knee joint, and the patella was definitely fractured, and she was being hospitalized. Just after signing the checklist, another patient came in, another one who had fallen and hurt his hip. How to prevent slip and fall? In winter, heavy clothes make it difficult to move around, and it is especially easy to slip and fall if you encounter rain or snow and slippery roads. Children and elderly people with insufficient lower limb strength have a higher probability of slipping and falling because they do not walk smoothly. Especially the elderly, muscle strength decreases, reaction speed decreases, balance ability decreases, more likely to slip and fall, and some children and the elderly (especially elderly women) osteoporosis, fall after the light swelling and pain, serious fractures. To prevent slips and falls, you must reduce unnecessary going out and try to stay at home and wait for the ground to become less slippery before going out. How to prepare anti-slip measures? First of all, the preparation of shoes, it is recommended not to wear high heels, in addition to high heels, but also try to avoid wearing thick heeled shoes such as hate high ah! These shoes are very stupid, usually walking seems to be smooth, not flexible enough, but once fallen, is going to fall very badly, light sprained ankle, heavy tendon injury. How to prevent slips and falls first from the gait analysis will start, if the slippery ground walking, the center of gravity can not keep up with the walking speed prone to fall backwards, is commonly said to fall a butt squat. Lou Yantao think: should strengthen the body in the sagittal plane control, in the toe off the ground moment, the same side of the trunk appropriate forward, so that the body’s center of gravity projection in the support surface, to enhance the stability of walking; strengthen the muscles of the hip and ankle joints of the landing leg and the muscles of the knee joint of the leg off the ground exercise. It seems that a moderate amount of muscle strength exercise can also prevent slips and falls. A pair of comfortable, non-slip shoes is probably the easiest anti-slip measure to take. Hearing others say that cars in the northeast winter need to be replaced with non-slip tires, should not our elderly and children at home also change a pair of non-slip shoes? What material is the most anti-slip shoes? Slip resistance is related to the material of the shoe, the structure of the sole and the design of the pattern. The general lateral pattern of large soles with good anti-slip performance oblique, the sole of a variety of materials, a variety of non-slip soles in the patent generally have a rubber component, it is generally believed that rubber or cowhide (raw rubber) material soles with excellent anti-slip performance, choose shoes to choose a good elasticity, if the pattern is simply deep, the sole material and very hard, as usual, not anti-slip. If you do not prepare shoes, you can prepare two 1 cm thick rope, respectively, tied to the top of the shoe, preferably around more than two turns, and then tied at the ankle fixed, which can increase the friction of the sole, it is said that the effect of anti-slip is also good. It is said that high-tech shoes to prevent the elderly from falling has applied for a patent, it is estimated that soon will enter our lives In addition, if the elderly go out, carrying a cane will have the effect of preventing falls. Bringing slightly thicker gloves may help, many slip and fall patients are injured in the wrist and hand, although not necessarily avoid, but at least when falling can avoid hand cuts by hard objects.
