How to Get Up From a Fall

Falls become a risk as we age due to loose carpet, clutter or balance issues.  The fact that you may have fallen once means you have a high risk of falling again.

If you fall – don’t panic.  All your energy and adrenaline will be required to assist your brain and neuromuscular system to respond to getting up.  Steps to follow are:

  • Do not get up too quickly
  • Locate something sturdy such as a solid piece of furniture
  • Roll onto our side
  • Push your upper body up
  • Lift your head, pause, and steady yourself
  • Rise slowly onto your hands and knees
  • Crawl to the sturdy furniture you identified to hold on to
  • Slide one foot forward so it is flat on the floor
  • Keep the other leg bent with your knee on the floor
  • Rise slowly and turn your body to sit in the chair
 Take your time before doing anything else.  Call a loved one or friend to come and be with you while you compose yourself.  Take a look at why you fell and try to rectify the situation to avoid future falls.
