Advocating a trial for falls prevention technology | |
Nobody would dispute that the volume of falls and fractures among the elderly is a major problem that has been defined by the NHS as ”An Unmet Clinical Need” with approximately half a million such fractures per annum at cost of more than £4bn. p. a. More than 50% of those over 75 have to live with a fear of falling that adversely affects their daily life and for those with osteoporosis – 2.5 million people in the UK – a very real danger of breaking bones in a fall. The knock-on effects are considerable in that 10% of all ambulance call-outs are for such falls and a significant amount of bed capacity in hospitals has to be allocated to those recovering from a hip repair operation. Various nostrums have been tried, such as “multifactorial Interventions”, but have had to be abandoned after a trial in Australia – 6-PACK – demonstrated conclusively with 46,000 participants that they did not work. Balance exercises and computer games have also had no measurable impact on the numbers of falls and fractures, with the former tending to increase the numbers of falls, especially when the exercises were unsupervised, as would normally be the case.
