Podcasts about Fall prevention

In this episode, Gina and Don take on the “F word” that no aging adult wants to talk about — falling. For many older adults, the fear of falling looms large, threatening their independence, confidence, and daily life. Gina and Don break down the many factors that contribute to falls, from physical changes like muscle weakness and balance issues, to environmental hazards lurking right at home. But it's not all doom and gloom — they also explore practical, proactive ways to reduce the risk of falling and help aging loved ones stay safe, steady, and strong. Whether you're an older adult yourself, a caregiver, or part of the sandwich generation, this episode offers valuable insights and tips to keep “the F word” from taking over.

Falls are the leading cause of injury for older adults, but the Stepping On program is helping change that. This evidence-based program, now launched as a pilot through a partnership with Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield, supports older adults and caregivers in building strength, confidence, and independence. Emily Tisdale, Executive Director of the Center for Aging & Community at the University of Indianapolis, joins us to share how the program works, who it's for, and how to get involved.

Experiencing a fall can be a traumatic event and can not only cause injury, but also have lasting mental and emotional effects. After a fall, it's easy to cause more harm to oneself if certain precautions are not taken. The usual first thought is to try and "spring back up" after falling but doing so could cause further set backs. Luckily, there are some things to keep in mind and practice in case you ever experience a fall which will help keep you safer and minimize injury. In This Episode You Will Learn: 1). What inspired the discussion on this topic of what to do "after" a fall and why it's so important to older adults. 2). Why many falls go un-reported and how this is dangerous for those who do not get checked out by their doctor or PCP afterwards. 3). Why it's important to always have a way to contact someone if you experience a fall and no one is around to help you. 4). How falls can lead to further injury if not taken seriously or assessed properly. 5). Helpful ways to prevent future falls through checking your eyesight, regular exercise and more. /// We hope the tips we've shared in this episode are helpful to you or someone you know who has experienced a fall. Making sure to take the necessary precautions after falling is important to minimizing further injury and contributes to a stronger confidence in knowing that you will be OK.

And that was from the time they walked in the door to the time they walked out. So the actual mobility part of it may have only been 10 minutes. I think we took the time to break down a lot of those perceptions of  I'm not qualified to do this. This is going to take too much time. I'm not sure what level the patient is supposed to be mobilizing at. And broke it down. And when they saw that the units started using it over and over again.” Emelia 36:26 “For those who are trying to get this started and you, and you're not sure and you're doing your needs assessment, the biggest thing you could do to help your nursing colleagues, to help the therapy department, to help the hospital is that there has to be some type of standard assessment of how we look at patient mobility. If that is not there, that is a good starting point because you have to speak the same language.” Rapid Responses: What's the last book you read?

Falls are the leading cause of injury for older Americans; in fact, one out of every four persons aged 65 and older has reported a fall in the past year. Falls are also the leading cause of EMS activations annually, accounting for over 3 million annual ED visits. EMS has a front-row seat in this epidemic, but little has been done to evaluate its role in a cure. In this month's journal club, we review a recent publication that describes the community benefits of an EMS-recognized and evaluated fall prevention program.

Did you know toe strength is the top predictor of falls in seniors? In this eye-opening episode, I'm joined by biomechanics expert Dr. Tom Michaud to explore the crucial role of toe and foot strength, especially for those with osteoporosis.   As we age, we can lose toe and foot strength faster than other muscles, which significantly impacts our balance, mobility, and overall health. Dr. Michaud explains why strengthening these often-overlooked muscles can help prevent falls and improve your quality of life.   Dr. Tom Michaud is a renowned expert in biomechanics and an author with decades of experience studying the intricate mechanics of the foot and ankle. His work focuses on helping people maintain mobility and avoid injury as they age.   Tune in to learn practical tips on how to strengthen your toes and safeguard your health as you age!   “What predicts lateral falls is impaired sensation on the bottom of the foot. What predicts forward falls is toe weakness. Then, you can have vestibular problems that cause falls with heavy movements. There are so many things, but most falls are related to specific things that you can do simple interventions for.” - Dr. Tom Michaud In this episode: - [03:40] - How Dr. Michaud developed ToePro - [07:59] - The role of toe strength in preventing falls - [12:38] - Best ways to strengthen your toes - [15:27] - How cushy sneakers could be harming your feet - [17:40] - Benefits of the ToePro device - [22:45] - Research on plantar heel pain - [27:22] - Understanding the anterior fall envelope - [32:34] - Why some bunions hurt, and others don't - [38:35] - Dr. Michaud's recommended products and protocols   Resources mentioned - Fall Prevention Package - Use coupon code HAPPYBONES for a 10 percent discount on all Dr. Michaud's products  - https://www.humanlocomotion.com/?hl=margieb  - Discounted supplements through Fullscript - https://us.fullscript.com/welcome/mbissinger   More about Margie - Website - https://margiebissinger.com/  - Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/p/Margie-Bissinger-MS-PT-CHC-100063542905332/  - Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/margiebissinger/?hl=en    DISCLAIMER – The information presented on this podcast should not be construed as medical advice.

Dr. Blueweiss recently delivered a compelling TEDx talk, *"Your Socks May Hold the Key to Aging Better."* In our interview, we dive deeper into the themes of her talk—exploring what she would have shared if given more than 10 minutes—and discuss the importance of body awareness in balance training. We'll also explore methods like the Feldenkrais Method as powerful tools for improving balance and preventing falls. Many of us assume that the risk of falling is an inevitable part of growing older. Carole Blueweiss, a doctor of physical therapy, explains why aging and frailty are not synonymous. She challenges us all to work on our balance now, so the last years of our lives don't have to be the worst. Dr. Carole Blueweiss is redefining aging by challenging some of its traditional views. With over 25 years of experience in Physical Therapy and as a certified geriatric specialist, she believes there are simple lifestyle choices that anyone can make, which have a strong impact on aging. Carole embraces holistic methods, like the Feldenkrais Method and ABM Neuromovement, that focus on mind-body interconnection and the importance of awareness to one's movement to combat the common misconception falling is just a byproduct of getting older. Through storytelling on her podcast, Wisdom Shared, Carole explores themes with her guests about having ‘ability' versus ‘dis-ability.' While aging may predispose us to lose some abilities that require balance, we have more control over this progression than we realize.Check out her TEDx talk here.Wisdom Shared podcastResources mentioned in the episode: - https://feldenkrais.com/ - https://feldenkraisproject.com/ - https://www.anatbanielmethod.com/  Effects of the Feldenkrais Method as a Physiotherapy Tool: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials - PubMed nlm.nih.gov  The Empowering Effect of Embodied Awareness Practice on Body Structural Map and Sensorimotor Activity: The Case of Feldenkrais Method - PubMed nlm.nih.gov Effects of Feldenkrais exercises on balance, mobility, balance confidence, and gait performance in community-dwelling adults age 65 and older - PubMed nlm.nih.gov

Off The Job Safety - Fall Prevention Tips For Home And Recreational Activities Accidents can happen anywhere, not just at work. Falls are one of the most common causes of injuries at home.  It's important to stay vigilant and follow safety precautions while changing lightbulbs, hanging pictures, cleaning gutters, or prepping for Christmas decorations to avoid falls and potential injuries from a ladder. Here are a few high-level tips to keep you safe when working around the house or engaging in outdoor activities: Use the Right Ladder for the Job Always use a sturdy, high-quality ladder when cleaning gutters or inspecting roofs. A "Type I" fiberglass ladder is an excellent choice as it's non-conductive and built to handle the job. Avoid aluminum ladders, especially near power lines. Inspect Ladders for Structural Integrity Before climbing, ensure your ladder is in good condition—check for cracks, missing parts, or any signs of wear. Never use a damaged ladder, as it significantly increases your risk of falling. Set Up Your Ladder on Stable Ground Always place ladders on a solid, level surface. Ensure they're properly secured and never lean on loose or unstable surfaces. Taking a few extra minutes to stabilize the ladder can prevent a severe fall. Use Proper Tools Inside the Home Don't stand on chairs or other furniture to reach high places. Use a step ladder designed for indoor use, and ensure it's the appropriate size and weight capacity for the task. By following these simple precautions, you can significantly reduce the risk of falls and ensure a safer environment at home. Remember, taking shortcuts with safety is never worth the risk. Stay proactive, and protect yourself from avoidable accidents. Thank you for being part of another episode of Warehouse Safety Tips.
