Prevention
One of the best things you can do to prevent falls from happening is to participate in regular physical activity. You’ll want to try exercises that help improve balance and coordination. If you have an underlying condition that impacts your mobility level, this is something you’ll want to address with your doctor. Review your medications to find out if there are any that might be making you feel dizzy or unbalanced. You may also benefit from having your vision checked as poor vision can increase your risk of falling.
Home Modifications
While a fall risk assessment is instrumental in determining if you have a low, moderate, or high risk, there are also home modifications that may help. Your ultimate decision will depend on your individual needs, but there are plenty of options to pick from.
TENS Pros and Cons
Studies evaluating the efficacy of this treatment are all over the map, in part because pain varies so widely, and the current delivered by the device can also vary widely based on the many settings and the potential placement of the electrodes. In its favor, TENS can be a non-invasive, chemical-free way to treat pain. On the other hand, some people find the tingling or prickling sensation delivered quite uncomfortable. There are also contra-indications for people with certain conditions such as an electronic implant devices, epilepsy, and more.
