Post No12...The Fall Circle - Infographic

This infographic is linked to the post 6 Reasons Why Preventing Falls is so Important for the Elderly. The Fall Circle is a concept I thought of whilst writing the post, and represents the idea that a fall can lead to other ongoing issues, and those same issues can then lead to future falls.

From this infographic I realised one thing, you cannot always prevent the fall, but you can work hard to prevent the other issues if you have the right care and support from friends, family, community services and perhaps also care homes / domiciliary providers. The most important part of the recovery, I believe, is therefore restoring the persons confidence and to keep them mobilising.

Future posts on this topic will include falls prevention, ways of staying independent through exercise, and other versions of The Fall Circle.
