Less than half the people suffering a hip fracture regain the mobility they had before the fracture occurred. Many become dependent on the assistance of others – or are referred to a nursing home.
Hip fractures are the most common cause of referral to nursing homes. The risk of falls and hip fractures strongly increases with age especially due to the brittleness of the bones (osteoporosis), which is a widespread condition occurring in elderly men and women.
SAFEHIP® Hip Protector is an evidence based product and provides the wearer with peace of mind - they look just like cotton pants, but with special pockets for the protective shields. The pockets ensure correct positioning of the shields to provide optimum protection. For more information visit our endorsed products page, http://www.sanicare.com.au/Default.aspx?ID=4763
