Getting Older Does Not Mean You Have to Slow Down!

According to the Pew Research Center:

21% of Americans aged between 65 - 74 said they feel old.
35% of Americans aged over 75 said that they feel old.

People are living longer, feeling younger, and staying active later on in life. That is the whole concept behind wearing ComfiHips®. When people feel young and active, it is because they have not had a recent injury and they are healthy.

When a fall occurs, there are many types of serious injuries that could happen including hip fractures, not to mention the emotional and psychological side effects. That is why ComfiHips® is there to protect you! Our patented, light weight, high impact absorbing pads are there to provide optimal protection from falls yet give you the freedom to continue doing life's activities.

I am Falling for You!

According to the CDC, it was reported that 55% of falls occur in the home. This is because there are so many risk factors at our homes that we do not think about until it is too late. According to the Florida Department of Health, fall related injuries are the leading cause of emergency room visits per year in the state. ComfiHips® was designed to help prevent these injuries in case you fall. It is the newest technology in hip fracture prevention with up to 87.2% impact absorption on a lateral fall!

Famous last words: “I won’t fall.”

Statistics are in for just the state of Florida. In 2008 alone, the reported number of falls in each age group is dramatically more than any other related injury. This information can be found on the Department of Health website for Florida.

Here are the numbers for falls that resulted in an emergency department visit: for ages 65 – 74 (31,268 falls), 75 – 84 (41,924 falls), 85+ (34,682 falls).

The next closest reported injury is Moving Traffic -any occupant in the car. Here are these numbers: for ages 65 – 74 (5,834 injuries), 75 – 84 (3,367 injuries), 85+ (949 injuries).

So by these numbers you are at least10 times more likely to fall down and go to the emergency room than being injured in a car accident!
