Patients and residents who benefit most from using hip protectors include elderly individuals at risk of falling who are unsteady and fall frequently, have a history of fall-related fractures, osteoporosis, and/or activity limitations due to fear of falling. Hip protectors serve as shock absorbers around the hip area, offering a cushioning effect. Soft foam pads are secured at the hips using specially designed garments. Additionally, secure hip protectors include high-density foam pads and a removable pad to protect the tailbone. The risk of hip fracture when falling while wearing hip protectors is significantly lower compared to falling without a hip protector. Additionally, hip protectors provide psychological benefits, such as boosting wearers’ confidence in completing tasks safely, which leads to increased physical activity and less need for assistance with daily activities. Hip Fractures Among Older Adults Hip fractures are among the most serious injuries caused by falls. Healing from a hip fracture is difficult and can lead to loss of independence. As the U.S. population ages, the number of hip fractures is expected to rise. Each year, at least 250,000 people aged 65 and older are hospitalized for hip fractures. More than 95% of hip fractures are caused by falling, usually by falling sideways. Women experience three-quarters of all hip fractures. Women more often have osteoporosis, a disease that weakens bones and makes them more likely to break. The chances of breaking your hip go up as you get older. Secure hip protectors are lightweight and come in various sizes to ensure a proper fit. The soft cotton-blend fabric provides comfort for everyday wear and helps prevent fall-related hip injuries among the elderly, seniors, fall-risk patients, residents, and loved ones.   The best use of hip protectors is to protect those who are most at risk of hip fractures, such as seniors and fall-risk patients: Elderly, Senior population Highly medicated Seizure disorder Balance impairment Cognitive impairment Brittle or weak bones Has fallen multiple times Facts About Hip Protectors Click Here to Print the Fact Sheet BUY WITH CONFIDENCE!

Click here to learn which hip protector brands reduced the average force below the lower level of hip fracture threshold in an independent lab test. Then, compare prices to see why Secure is the #1 choice! INDEPENDENT LABORATORY TEST RESULTS Our Secure brand hip protectors have been tested to determine if they reduce the force below the fracture point in the event of a fall. The pads were tested by Collision and Injury Dynamics, Inc., headquartered in El Segundo, CA. Visit www.ci-dynamics.com. The hip fracture threshold of an elderly person is 3100N ( /- 1200N). The average force of the left and right Secure hip pads was 1366 N and 1531 N respectively. The tailbone pad was 1841N. All pads reduced the force associated with a fall below the threshold fracture point.
