Many people might remember the old “Help, I’ve fallen and I can’t get up” commercials and smile, thinking of the many jokes and spoofs the ads spawned.

The reality, however, is that accidental falls are the most common cause of injuries and hospital admissions for trauma among adults aged 65 or older. According to the CDC, more than 33% of people in the 65+ age group are involved in accidents or falls in the home each year and suffer fall-related injuries causing disability, loss of independence, early admission into care facilities, and sometimes even death.
