The moment after a fall is often marked by anxiety and distress. For seniors who live alone or lack immediate assistance, being unable to get up can result in a sense of isolation or even fear of further falls.
This emotional and physical toll can impact mental health, leading to depression and reduced overall well-being.
Approximately 30% of older adults who fall will develop a fear of falling again, which can lead to limited mobility and a decline in physical health
