There are numerous things you can do to proactively prevent falls or injuries from a fall. Here are some way you can be prepared.<\/p>\n<p>Stay indoors when the weather is snowy or icy. Walkways that are not cleared are hazardous and pose a risk for injuries from a fall. Clear frequently used walkways and use sand or cat litter on the walkway for traction. Wear well-fitting shoes, move slowly, and use a wider gait for stability. Don\u2019t be afraid to ask for help in clearing sidewalks and driveways as this can be a physically challenging task. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/doctors\/adam-schindelheim-md\">Dr. Adam Schindelheim<\/a>, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/\">Cooper University Health Care<\/a> Attending Physiatrist, who is board certified in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/services\/physical-medicine-and-rehabilitation\">Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation<\/a>, suggests, \u201cDon\u2019t rush and always have a cell phone in case of an emergency.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes simply getting out of a vehicle during winter weather can be a fall hazard. When preparing to get out of a vehicle, check the ground for icy or slippery areas before attempting to exit and wear shoes with traction to aid in stability when walking.\u00a0 Bundle up, even while performing simple tasks such as walking to the outside mailbox. Wearing warm, winter clothing such as well-fitting shoes, a coat, hat, and gloves will help protect from injury in the event of a fall, as opposed to just wearing something light like a house robe and slippers. If you need a cane, Dr. Schindelheim suggests an ice tip attachment to prevent slipping.<\/p>\n<p>Many falls in the home occur due to poor lighting.\u00a0 Keep extra batteries and flashlights throughout different rooms in the house in the event of an unexpected power outage.\u00a0 Make sure that all flashlights are functioning properly, and walkways are clear of clutter and tripping hazards in anticipation of a possible power outage.<\/p>\n<p>If you do fall, take a moment to see if there is an injury rather than trying to get up too quickly. Call 911 for assistance if injured. Do not risk further injury. If you are struggling to get up, wait for help to arrive. Dr. Schindelheim recommends, \u201cIf you can get up on your own, roll to one side and bend your knees toward you. Then push up with your arms first, then legs, if possible\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A strategy that can be used to aid in preventing future falls is to assess the fall. Why did the fall happen?\u00a0 What could have been done differently? Evaluating the fall in this way may help prevent another from occurring.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, during the winter season, please check on your family, friends, and neighbors frequently, especially those who are at greater risk.<\/p>\n<p>If you or a loved one is the victim of a serious fall seek immediate treatment at our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/services\/level-1-trauma-center\">Level 1 Trauma Center<\/a>. Injuries from minor falls are treated at our three convenient <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/services\/urgent-care-center\">Urgent Care Centers<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"espanol\"><\/a><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Mant\u00e9ngase a Salvo de las Ca\u00eddas esta Temporada de Invierno<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Hay muchas cosas que puede hacer para prevenir ca\u00eddas o lesiones de forma proactiva. A medida que se acerca el clima invernal, PUEDE estar preparado.<\/p>\n<p>Permanezca adentro cuando el clima est\u00e9 nevado o helado. Los pasillos que no est\u00e1n despejados son peligrosos y presentan un riesgo de lesiones por una ca\u00edda. Limpie los pasillos de uso frecuente y utilice arena o arena para gatos en el pasillo para tracci\u00f3n. Use zapatos que le queden bien, mu\u00e9vase lentamente y use un paso m\u00e1s amplio para la estabilidad. No tenga miedo de pedir ayuda para limpiar aceras y caminos de entrada, ya que puede ser una tarea f\u00edsicamente desafiante. El <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/doctors\/adam-schindelheim-md\">Dr. Adam Schindelheim<\/a>, fisiatra asistente de atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica de la <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/\">Cooper University<\/a>, certificado por la junta en <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/services\/physical-medicine-and-rehabilitation\">Medicina F\u00edsica y Rehabilitaci\u00f3n<\/a>, sugiere: &#8220;No se apresure y tenga siempre un tel\u00e9fono celular en caso de una emergencia&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>A veces, simplemente salir de un veh\u00edculo durante el invierno puede representar un peligro de ca\u00edda. Cuando se prepare para salir de un veh\u00edculo, revise el suelo en busca de \u00e1reas heladas o resbaladizas antes de intentar salir y use zapatos con tracci\u00f3n para ayudar a la estabilidad al caminar. Otra consideraci\u00f3n es usar ropa abrigada, incluso mientras realiza tareas simples como caminar hacia el buz\u00f3n exterior. El uso de ropa abrigada de invierno, como zapatos que le queden bien, un abrigo, gorro y guantes, ayudar\u00e1 a protegerse de lesiones en caso de una ca\u00edda, en lugar de usar algo ligero como una bata y pantuflas. Si se requiere un bast\u00f3n, el Dr. Schindelheim sugiere una punta de bast\u00f3n de hielo para evitar resbalones.<\/p>\n<p>Muchas ca\u00eddas en el hogar se producen por falta de iluminaci\u00f3n. Mantenga bater\u00edas y linternas adicionales en las diferentes habitaciones de la casa en caso de un apag\u00f3n inesperado. Aseg\u00farese de que todas las linternas funcionen correctamente y que los pasillos est\u00e9n libres de desorden y peligros de tropiezos antes de un posible corte de energ\u00eda.<\/p>\n<p>Si ocurre una ca\u00edda, t\u00f3mese un momento para ver si hay una lesi\u00f3n en lugar de intentar levantarse demasiado r\u00e1pido. Llame al 911 para obtener ayuda si se lesiona. No se arriesgue a sufrir m\u00e1s lesiones; Si tiene dificultades para levantarse, espere a que llegue ayuda. El Dr. Schindelheim recomienda: &#8220;Si puede levantarse por su cuenta, gire hacia un lado y doble las rodillas hacia usted, luego empuje hacia arriba con los brazos primero y luego con las piernas, si puede&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Una estrategia que puede utilizarse para ayudar a prevenir futuras ca\u00eddas es considerar y evaluar la ca\u00edda. \u00bfPor qu\u00e9 ocurri\u00f3 la ca\u00edda? \u00bfQu\u00e9 podr\u00eda haberse hecho de manera diferente? Estas preguntas pueden ayudar a evaluar la ca\u00edda y, con suerte, evitar que ocurra otra. Durante la temporada de invierno, revise con frecuencia a su familia, amigos y vecinos; especialmente aquellos que est\u00e1n en mayor riesgo.<\/p>\n<p>Si usted o un ser querido es v\u00edctima de una ca\u00edda, busque tratamiento en nuestro <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/services\/level-1-trauma-center\">Centro de trauma de nivel 1<\/a> o en los convenientes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/services\/urgent-care-center\">Centros de atenci\u00f3n urgente<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Para leer en Espa\u00f1ol, por favor haga clic aqu\u00ed While many of us brace for winter by ensuring we have shovels, scrapers, and ice melt on hand, it is also important to incorporate fall prevention strategies into our preparations.
