MODEL RELEASED. Elderly woman injured by falling in a bathroom. The fall may have been an accident,or it could have been caused by a medical disorder,such as a heart attack or a stroke,either of which can be fatal if left untreated. Elderly people can have slower reflexes and be less athletic than younger people,making them less likely to be able to prevent a fall. The most common injuries from a fall are broken bones and head injuries. Elderly women may have osteoporosis,a condition where the bones become brittle and break easily. A fall is likely to break a hip,requiring a hip replacement operation | |
