Don\u2019t wait until it is too late!\u00a0 Start making a few simple changes today that can help you prevent a fall tomorrow.\u00a0 The Injury Prevention Professional, Tara Grenier, a member of the Montreal General Hospital\u2019s (MGH) Trauma Program at the McGill University Health Centre (MUHC), tours independent living seniors\u2019 residences to provide well-needed information regarding fall prevention.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery year we admit approximately 1000 patients here at the MGH, a Level-1 Trauma Centre, as a result of a fall and the majority are seniors. The falls result in devastating and debilitating injuries. At least 30% of these patients sustain a traumatic brain injury.\u201d \u00a0says Johanne Prud\u2019homme, Trauma Registry Team Leader.<\/p>\n

Ms. Grenier, shares these statistics and more \u00ad[i]<\/a> \u00ad[ii]<\/a> \u00a0[iii]<\/a> during the visit in order to get the residents attention about the importance of preventing the falls in the first place. The risk factors for falls are reviewed; the seniors find out what they can do to reduce their risk of falling; the audience are encouraged to stay active, in fact, they actively participate in several exercises; and lastly they do an overview of how they can make their apartment safer.<\/p>\n
