Neuropathy
No one likes to think about the possibility of falling, but for those living with neuropathy, the risk is real. Neuropathy is a condition that causes damage to the nerves, and can lead to loss of sensation in the extremities. This can make it difficult to know when you are losing your balance, increasing the risk of falling. Bathrooms are especially dangerous, as they often have hard surfaces and wet floors. Fortunately, there are mobility solutions that can help reduce the risk of falling. Grab bars and raised toilet seats can provide support, and non-slip mats can help prevent slips and falls. It is also important to get support from family and friends, as they can help with everyday tasks like getting in and out of the shower. By taking these precautions, those living with neuropathy can help reduce their risk of falling.
