5 Warning Signs for Seniors with Falling Risks

Loss of balance- A loss of balance occurs before a fall. If you are having a hard time balancing then you should start using a walking aide like a walker.

Problems with discerning distance- Eye sight problems occur commonly in seniors. These may make it difficult to balance properly and to tell how far away a tripping hazard is.

Muscle weakness- Losing muscle in the legs is particularly problematic. Exercise may help regain lost muscles.

Glaucoma- This common eye problem may make it difficult to see properly.

Previous falls- The best indicator that a senior will fall in the future is if they have fallen in the past. This may be a sign that more intensive care is required, or maybe a medical alarm will suite the seniors needs best.
