Walk to prevent falls strategy

1, hands can not be inserted in the pockets. Hands swinging back and forth outside can maintain body balance, in case of a fall can be supported by the hands, not easy to break the leg. After all, trauma to the upper limbs is better than trauma to the lower limbs, and the prognosis is better. 2.When walking, the body leans forward slightly, like skiing. 3.When walking, the two feet apart, and the same width as the shoulders. This chassis is large, stable center of gravity. 4, walking stride should be small. Take large steps walking easy to fall. If you walk on very slippery ice and snow, try to ensure that your center of gravity on the front foot, also known as the “penguin step”, or sideways small steps, less likely to fall. 5, choose the surface, but also do not walk on the smooth surface, it is best to take the grain of the blind. 6.When you go out, you should wear comfortable clothes and non-slip comfortable shoes, and you can also bring walking sticks and other aids, or two people to help each other walk. What should I do if I fall down? If you accidentally fall, only a relatively light fall, sprain, you can use cold water soaked towels on the injury to make vasoconstriction, reduce local congestion, reduce pain, 48 hours after the hot compress, so that the local blood circulation to speed up, reduce swelling and pain, and seek medical attention early. General snow fractures are mostly concentrated in the ankle bone, tailbone and lumbar spine, do not rush to get up after a fall, should first look at their thighs, waist and wrist fall pain or not. Through their own activities to feel the degree of injury, if the problem is not too big, their own slowly get up and move. Once you find that the fall site deformity, such as arms, wrists have a foreign body protrusion, accompanied by severe pain, activity restrictions, may be a fracture, you need to immediately contact a doctor. At the same time, I remind, the elderly should minimize or avoid going out activities, walking process as far as possible, choose to travel in pairs, crutches.
