What about seniors and falls

What about seniors and falls.
Many seniors don't dictate their doctors they've had a sink because they're upset they'll be told they can't live on their own anymore, a medical doctor says. Millions of Americans aged 65 and older plummet every year, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But, fewer than half put their doctor, the researchers noted. "They're nervous about other people becoming involved about safety issues at home and the potential that they may have to move from their home to assisted living or a nursing home," Dr Nicole Osevala, an internal nostrum adept at Penn State University, said in a day-school news release home page. Seniors also don't want others to upset about them.

So "If they fall and don't have a serious injury, they don't want to irritate their kids or loved ones". But she urged seniors to asseverate their doctor about any falls so the causes can be pinpointed and corrected. Chronic form conditions such as osteoarthritis and nerve injure in the feet and other extremities - called peripheral neuropathy - can burgeon the risk of falls, as can recent changes in health.
