Extend A Hand is an Effective Fall Prevention Device

The proper installation and use of the Extend A Hand grab bar
could significantly reduce injuries and deaths from falling!


"In 1998, falls in the home and community caused or led to 15,900 deaths.  All age groups are vulnerable, but older adults are most at risk.  Eight out of 10 of those killed by falls are over age 65, and falls are the leading cause of injury-related death among the very elderly, those over 80.

"Falls are the number one cause of injury death for males 80+ years old, the number one cause of injury death for females 75+ years old, and falls are also the leading cause of injury and hospital admission for older adults.

"It may come as no surprise that the most serious injury resulting from such falls is hip fracture. Yet many of us would be shocked to learn that more than 24% of all people suffering a hip fracture die within a year of the fall and another 50% never return to their prior level of mobility or independence.

"Of fall-related deaths, 41% take place in the home, 14% in residential institutions and the rest in other public places, according to the National Center for Health Statistics."
