Ten points to prevent falls and fractures on snowy days

  1, the elderly, especially osteoporosis patients do not go out as far as possible.  2, wear shoes to pay attention to, when going out as far as possible to change the soles of rough, striped flat shoes, non-slip shoes, women do not wear high heels.  3, the pace is as small as possible, as slow as possible and keep a fixed pace.  4, try not to insert your hands in the pockets, moderate swing can increase body balance.  5.Do not carry heavy objects in your hands.  6.Screening road conditions: tread solid shiny snow layer, covered with thin snow ice and marble roads are easy to fall areas, so try to choose no ice area or relatively soft snow area walking.  7, pay attention to motor vehicles: do not follow the usual habit of judging the route of motor vehicles, try to keep a certain distance from motor vehicles to prevent being touched by motor vehicles.  8, if you fall forward, try not to use your wrists to harden the ground, because this position is most likely to cause arm fractures; if you fall backward, try to land on both sides of the buttocks, not unilateral landing, to avoid hip fractures.  9, once fallen, try not to force to stand up, so as not to cause secondary injury; can ask others to help or with the help of the side railing and other assistance to stand up.  10.If a part of the body (such as wrist, hip and lumbar spine) is found to be painful, swollen or deformed after a fall, go to a nearby hospital immediately.
