Preventing Fractures with Hip Protectors
Rein Tideiksaar, PhD

Falls in long-term care facilities (e.g., nursing homes and assisted living facilities) are a major health concern. It’s estimated that up to 50% of residents fall yearly. Hip fracture is one of the most serious consequences from falling. While 1-2% of falls result in a hip fracture, more than 95% of hip fractures are caused by a fall. Hip fractures are a major threat to the health and well-being of residents. Approximately 20% of residents suffering hip fracture die within six months of injury and only about 40% of survivors return to pre-fracture functioning. Many residents experience pain, anxiety and fear of falling and/or injury, which can persist for years after a fracture. Consequently, long-term care facilities need to include focus on preventing hip fractures.
