Life Alert® and other emergency notification systems including a cellphone are very important in emergency situations especially when you're alone and in need of help. However, these systems when used alone, unfortunately, do not prevent falls and accidents from happening in the first place.
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), each year, more than one out of four older people fall and falling once increases your chances of falling again by 200 per cent.
One out of five falls causes a serious injury such as broken bones or a head injury which leads people to lose their independence.
Falling is the leading cause of emergency visits, and accidental deaths in the elderly leading to a vicious cycle of fear of doing any activities, which in turn causes muscle weakness, impaired balance and other medical conditions that ultimately leads to loss of Independence and decreased quality of life.
Fortunately, with Holsman's No-Fall Protocol™, we help prevent these falls and keep you independent. The No-Fall Protocol™ at Holsman Physical Therapy is covered by most insurance and is performed by licensed Physical Therapists and Occupational Therapists.
