The prevention of wrestling in the elderly has caused heated discussions, what are the dangers of wr

The elderly themselves have osteoporosis, once they fall, they are easy to fracture, and then stay in bed for a long time**, which causes a series of systemic complications and pneumonia, bedsores, urinary tract infections, and serious impact to the head resulting in death.

If surgery is required after a fall, many elderly people cannot afford it. In addition, the elderly are slow to recover and cannot return to the previous level after wrestling, which may cause irreversible damage to the body.

It is very important to prevent wrestling in the elderly, because the elderly are older, all aspects of bone mass will be relatively loose, and there will be many underlying diseases, once the fall will have very serious consequences, may cause heart disease, cerebral thrombosis, stroke, cerebral hemorrhage and other diseases, then it is unpredictable.

There are fractures, head injuries, etc. Fractures, osteoporosis in the elderly, and the impact of wrestling is easy to fracture. Skull injury, the elderly have large hands and feet, and it is not easy to protect the head when wrestling, and it is easy to hurt the head.

The elderly are most likely to have fractures or fractures after falls, because the elderly have a lot of bone hyperplasia or osteoporosis, and they are low in calcium, and relatively speaking, bone elasticity is relatively poor. It is also prone to complications that occur after a fracture.

There is a great harm, first of all, it will lead to bone changes in the elderly, which is likely to lead to fractures, and it is likely to cause some chronic diseases, and it is likely to lead to shock or sudden death.

It is easy to fracture the elderly, and it is also easy to cause cerebral hemorrhage, if the fracture is broken, it will be bed for a long time, and the elderly will get cerebral thrombosis if they are bedridden for a long time, thus endangering the life safety of the elderly.

Wrestling for the elderly is a very serious thing, because they are old, their physical fitness is not good, and accidentally falling may cause life-threatening situations, so they also need to pay attention to the prevention of wrestling for the elderly.

Because the elderly have serious muscle weakness, weakness of the lower limbs, unsteady walking, slow reaction, and osteoporosis, external force directly acts on the loose bones, and fractures are very likely to occur. Common fractures in the elderly include the spine, proximal humerus, distal radius, and proximal femur (including the femoral neck and intertrochanteric femor), which are closely related to severe osteoporosis in these sites.

Vertebral compression fracture: Vertebral compression fracture caused by osteoporosis is more likely to occur at the junction of thoracic and lumbar vertebrae, and can cause severe hunchback deformation when it occurs frequently. Compression fractures of the spine can lead to chronic back pain, reduced quality of life, and even death.

Severe or multisegmental vertebral compression fractures require surgery depending on the symptoms of spinal cord compression**;

Humeral fractures: According to statistical studies, 77% of proximal humeral fractures occur in women, and the incidence of proximal humeral fractures increases exponentially after the age of 50, indicating that this fracture is closely related to osteoporosis.

Radius fractures: Balance imbalances combined with osteoporosis make older women have a high chance of distal radius fractures. The most common distal radius fracture occurs when the wrist is stretched out dorsally during a fall, resulting in a spoon-shaped deformity of the wrist;

Hip fractures: Hip fractures account for about 30% of all fracture hospitalizations, and the annual medical expenses and resources spent on hip fractures are significant. With modern medical care, the one-year mortality rate directly related to hip fracture is as high as 20%.

The elderly are most afraid of fractures, and the elderly are most likely to be deficient in calcium, so the elderly you find often need to supplement calcium.

The elderly will basically break bones when they fall, and in serious cases, they will be life-threatening.

Osteoporosis in the elderly is prone to fractures.

Because after the elderly fall, the family will treat the elderly, and the drugs used will cause secondary injuries to the elderly, and finally cause the failure of various organs.

Because some elderly people may cause organ failure after falling, it is said to be fatal.

Because the body of the elderly is particularly weak, and most of the elderly have osteoporosis. If an elderly person falls, it can lead to fractures and can also lead to bleeding in the brain.

Because the elderly are more vulnerable. The calcium loss in the bones of the elderly is very severe, and their bones are much more fragile than those of young people, and they can easily break bones.

Although the elderly are already old, as they get older, their systems are not particularly stable in all aspects, and their osteoporosis is particularly thin.

Because the elderly have problems with their bones and are not in the same physical condition as before, a fall may affect their loss of appetite.

Because the elderly have poor physical fitness, they are likely to have heart disease, diabetes, coronary heart disease, cerebral infarction, and falls will be particularly serious, and sudden death is very likely.

Because the head of an elderly person hits the ground first after a fall, it can cause a head injury, and if the injury bleeds severely, it can be life-threatening.

Because the bones and body organs of the elderly are very fragile, if you accidentally fall, the fragile bones of the elderly will be broken like glass, and the fragile organs of the body will also fail quickly like dead branches and leaves.

The older you get, the worse your physical function becomes, and wrestling can easily lead to many other complications.

Older people are very fragile and have problems such as osteoporosis Once they fall, their bones will be difficult to recover, which will have a great impact on their later lives.

Mainly because they have osteoporosis and are more unresponsive, their ability to bear their own weight is reduced.

Because people are old, there are major problems in many bodily functions, but they usually do not break out, and after wrestling, they may cause a series of problems, so that they cannot withstand falling.

Because if the elderly fall, they will fall into problems, and if they are serious, they will not be able to get off the ground, and they need others to serve them.

Because the bones of the elderly are relatively loose, a fall can cause very strong pain in their body, and the pain sensation can cause discomfort in their body.

Because the bones of the elderly are very fragile, they will all suffer from osteoporosis, so there is a high possibility of accidents in a fall.

That's because the elderly are already old, their bodies can't support them to wrestle at all, and their body functions have aged, which can easily cause some problems.

Elderly people can have very serious consequences after falling, so there has been a lot of discussion about how to prevent elderly people from falling. Now there are more and more elderly people in our country, and every family is also facing such a problem, wrestling for the elderly is a very common thing, but he is not like young people who can get up after wrestling, if the elderly wrestle, then the consequences are very serious, because the bones of the elderly have been relatively loose, and the bones will become brittle, so it is easy to hurt the bones after falling, and then it is possible to be bedridden. How to prevent the elderly from falling, let's talk to you in detail.

Measures should be taken to prevent falls in the elderly

The living environment of the elderly, first of all, we must understand more, and ask where it is not very convenient for them to walk, so that we can make timely adjustments to prevent falls at home. Usually remember to do some balance training for the elderly, for the elderly after the age of 60, their cognitive ability has decreased significantly. Therefore, we need to use our usual training to let them slow down the slowdown, and then do some balance training, so that they are not easy to fall when walking every day.

Older people also need to exercise

After many elderly people reach a certain age, their legs and feet are not so convenient, and then they become less and less fond of sports, which is a very wrong thing, and the elderly must exercise more. Don't do too intense sports for the elderly, such as going to square dance, or shopping with friends, and then you can often go to the park for a walk, these are very good sports. In short, you must remember that you must not let the elderly stay indoors for a long time and be inactive, if they are inactive for a long time, their legs and feet will become more and more inconvenient.

Calcium supplementation is also important for the elderly

As people get older, the rate of calcium loss is getting faster and faster, so calcium supplementation is indispensable at this time. In addition to the usual balanced diet, daily nutrition should also be strengthened, usually to supplement some vitamin D, as well as calcium, which can help us improve the bone condition. If the elderly have inconvenience in their legs and feet, you must remember to bring them a cane when you go out, which can reduce the probability of falling.

Also, when walking, you must choose a suitable shoe for the elderly, and it is comfortable, and do not choose platform shoes, because their perception of the ground will be hindered, and it will also increase the risk of falling.

It is best for the elderly to go out with an adult, or the elderly with limited mobility can be on crutches.

Removing some obstacles on the road and strengthening the care of the elderly can prevent falling.

The elderly should be given a non-slip shoe, and the elderly must be asked to use a walking stick. And it is important for older people to walk more slowly.

Non-slip, escort. Buy non-slip shoes for the elderly to avoid slipping. Family members accompany the elderly to prevent the elderly from falling.

The elderly often suffer from cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, such as hypertension, coronary heart disease, cerebral arteriosclerosis, vertebrobasilar insufficiency, and heart rhythm disorders. These diseases can lead to transient cerebral insufficiency, resulting in cerebral ischemia and hypoxia, causing patients to suddenly develop cerebral dysfunction, loss of consciousness and fainting.

2. The elderly often have a waddling gait, and the center of gravity of the body moves forward, so that the body is in a state of leaning forward; Some people have gait disorders due to brain tumors, cerebral hemorrhages or vestibular disorders, which are easy for the elderly to fall.

3. Most of the elderly have vision loss, and some people also suffer from cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration and other diseases, and it is easy to trip over obstacles while walking.

4. Diabetic patients have a 4 times higher chance of falling than normal people. Diabetic patients have hypoglycemia, ketoacidosis, non-ketotic hyperosmolar coma, etc., due to poor metabolic control or improper medication, which can cause dizziness and falls.

5. The elderly often suffer from fractures caused by osteoporosis, such as vertebral compression fractures, hip or femoral neck fractures, etc. After fracture, limb deformity may occur, and abnormal pseudoarticulation may occur in non-articular parts of the limb.

6. Falls in the elderly can also occur after drinking, especially after being drunk. In addition, falling can occur due to transient cerebral ischemia due to taking a hot bath for too long, staying in bed for a long time, suddenly getting up after squatting for a long time, and standing to urinate.

2. How to treat the elderly when they fall.

First of all, it is necessary to determine whether it is sudden death. The patient should be placed on a rigid plate immediately, and it is strictly forbidden to move. In the case of sudden cardiac death, cardiopulmonary resuscitation should be performed immediately, that is, percussion of the precordial area, chest compressions, mouth-to-mouth artificial respiration, etc., and emergency doctors should be called for treatment immediately.

Second, it is necessary to determine whether it is a transient ischemic attack (TIA) or a stroke. TIA refers to transient localized neurologic deficits or defects caused by lesions of the carotid arteries, vertebral arteries, and large arteries in the brain. Diabetic patients have a 2-3 times higher risk of TIA and stroke than non-diabetic patients.

Cerebral infarction often manifests as dizziness, vertigo, weakness of one limb, hemiplegia, and movement disorders. For such patients, they should be avoided as much as possible, and they should not be held by the patient and shaken and shouted in an attempt to wake the patient. The correct way to do this is to bring a chair to support the patient if he is sitting on the floor and has not yet collapsed, or he or she can be supported by a chair.

If the patient has completely collapsed, the patient can be slowly lowered to the supine position while carefully tilting his head to one side to prevent suffocation due to vomit entering the trachea. At the same time as the first aid at the scene, you should call a doctor to come to the rescue as soon as possible.
