A fall can be regarded as an insignificant accident: your foot gets stuck under the rug, you did not see there was a step, you slipped on the wet floor, etc. Fortunately, they often don't have any consequences and are quickly forgotten.
However, as people get older, falls become more likely to lead to potentially serious complications, regardless of the circumstances in which they occurred: bone fractures, wounds, infectious complications, etc. Therefore, they mustn't be trivialised.
Of course, there are already numerous resources on falls, but up until now, no site presented information on falls among the elderly in a clear and accessible way, while taking an interest in all sides of the problem. The www.protec-chute.com portal remedies this oversight and intends on being the leading European site for information and advice on falls among the elderly. It is intended for seniors, their family and friends, people working in the health sector and for any person who takes an interest in falls.
 

You will find clear, all-encompassing and high-quality information and advice, prevention methods and solutions to care for people who have had a fall. Eventually, you will also be able to individually assess the risks of a fall or purchase equipment online for the prevention of falls or to care for people who have had a fall.
