Anti-fall injury prevention kits

A puffy waist belt that helps older people prevent hip fractures from falling, and is available in foreign markets.

This device reduces up to 90% of falls.

According to Helite, the device reduces the fall of the fall by 90 percent, and is more unique in predicting the person's fall in sensory capabilities, which the cuffs show. can not do The belt is named Hip'Air , priced at $ 790 (18 million dong), weighs 1 kilogram, with two inner pockets, allowing the operator to easily move around without being entangled. When used, people just need to hook the keychain, but if not locked properly it will emit a cry until the correct insertion.

Although it is still too new for clinical trials, the manufacturer claims that the technology absorbs shocks nine times better than the protective cords previously. In reply to the media, the engineers once explained that the fall took 0.4 seconds, but the cough took only 0.2 seconds to detect a person who was about to fall. At this point, the two cushions that pop out on the hips help reduce shakes to prevent fractures.

Studies show that men and women with hip fractures are at a much greater risk of death, even eight years after injury. Even though men are less likely to fall than women, they are more likely to die within the next few months, according to a British Royal College study. Analysis of eight studies involving more than 122,000 people in the United States and Europe, showed that those who suffered hip fractures were likely to die in the next few years by 2.78 times normal. For the next eight years, the risk was still 1.79 times.
