Falling down is one of the most popular accidents that occur on a senior. There are several reasons why seniors tend to fall more compared to younger persons. One reason is that older people are less active and more fragile bones which result to poor or slow reflexes. Older persons are also less stable because of arthritis and loss of balance. Sensory impairments are typical reasons as well. Being visually impaired makes them vulnerable to tripping themselves and eventually getting hurt. Medications may also be a problem. Some medicines have side effects that may include dizziness. Also, you must check your house. The environment may have something to do with it. Like fix the flooring and tuck the carpets properly.
