Alrededor de tres millones de ancianos acuden anualmente a urgencias por lesiones causadas por ca\u00eddas<\/a>. Adem\u00e1s, una de cada cinco ca\u00eddas provoca da\u00f1os f\u00edsicos graves, como traumatismo craneal y fracturas. Sus lesiones suelen requerir cuidados m\u00e9dicos extensos, lo que supone gastos considerables que podr\u00edan ser demasiado para ellos. <\/p>\nLos costes m\u00e9dicos por ca\u00eddas superaron los 50.000 millones de d\u00f3lares solo en 2015, de los cuales solo el 75% recibi\u00f3 cobertura de Medicare y Medicaid. Si una ca\u00edda por resbal\u00f3n hospitaliza a un adulto mayor, sus recursos podr\u00edan no ser suficientes para pagar sus tratamientos. <\/p>\n
Proteger a los mayores mediante la prevenci\u00f3n<\/h2>\n
Afortunadamente, los adultos mayores y sus familias pudieron tomar medidas preventivas para evitar lesiones por ca\u00eddas. Podr\u00edan centrarse en prevenir el dolor de pie con calzado de calidad, eliminar posibles obstrucciones en el suelo y mejorar el equilibrio con ejercicio ligero. <\/p>\n
Sin embargo, puede que solo implementen estos pasos en casa. En el \u00e1mbito p\u00fablico, los factores de riesgo pueden ser impredecibles, especialmente en los centros de trabajo. Si una persona mayor cae en un supermercado o tienda debido a la negligencia de otra persona, podr\u00eda reclamar una compensaci\u00f3n, dependiendo de las circunstancias. Hacerlo podr\u00eda ayudar a cubrir sus gastos, especialmente si sufr\u00edan lesiones graves. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Todos pueden resbalar y caer en alg\u00fan momento de su vida. Los ni\u00f1os o ni\u00f1os peque\u00f1os podr\u00edan caerse mientras aprenden a mantener el equilibrio y a caminar correctamente. Los atletas pueden caer mientras compiten o practican. Estas personas pueden sufrir da\u00f1os f\u00edsicos durante estos incidentes, pero pueden ser leves y requerir poca o ninguna atenci\u00f3n […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[63,59],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-254441","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-lesiones-personales","category-lesiones-por-resbalones-y-caidas"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
