Falls can be really nasty if they go out of control. For e.g. when such an incident occurs over a flight of stairs, it can prove to be fatal. Backs can break, bones can crack, heads can rip apart, and a lot of blood can be lost too. Hence, what is important is that the person needs to take utmost care to prevent it especially if he or she is a senior citizen or is susceptible to falling. Taking these measures or steps will help to insure oneself against such accidents and will definitely avoid any kind of casualty.

Its impact

� What happens in most cases is that the fall is small. However that tiny little nudge might cause a series of reactions. As an example, if a person simply trips on stair in an entire flight of them while climbing up, there is a great likelihood of the individual rolling down all the way, and on the way there could be the possibilities of twisting parts of the body that are nimbler or delicate.

� Fragile portions of the anatomy such as the neck, the spine and the head are all very sensitive parts. Even a slight little jerk or vibration in them can send them apart.

� Hence it is vital to stay away from collapsing so as to be miles away from twisting the collar, cracking a bone which could lead to fractures or even injuring the spinal cord which could result to paralysis.

Being safe

Using some rather simple methods to do this would work just fine. It is always better to be safe than to be sorry. So here are a few defensive actions that can be subscribed to in order to keep away from the dangers that are caused out of dropping down and causing hurt or harm to your bones or muscles. The following are some of them.

Primary solution

� Take the help of a doctor. They know the in and out of the body and are experts in their won specializations.

� Hence it is always better to visit the physical just for the sake of cure just after some kind of ailment or disease has occurred, but also for becoming aware of the kind of preventive measures that can be taken so as to avoid those situations from occurring or those fatalities from taking place.

� They will provide you with the ultimate solutions and can also assist in not just prescribing but also helping you to choose the best kind of methods as per your own peculiar body type and specifications as what is right and effective for one man/woman might not be as efficient for another on account of their habits, lifestyle, nature and health conditions.

Other solutions

Use the right kind of shoes to move around. Try to not use rubber slippers or sandals as they have fewer grips on them and increase the chances of slipping especially in areas where the floor is wet with water or any other sort of liquid. Buy the right fit and keep moving slowly, steadily and gently instead of pacing about.
