Drop Support Harness 3

Because Drop Support Harness Assistance, one drop at a time, has the potential to help families reclaim their sense of trust in fall support. It instils a new feeling of hope in families.

The challenge: The most difficult part of providing fall care to family members during a fall is figuring out how to stop the fall from happening in the first place. Most family members currently have no other option but to communicate with one another save through physical contact. The issue with physical contact is the contact itself, which can lead to damage if family members or caregivers use too much force or pressure to break someone's fall. In other cases, it's a lack of or inability to physically make adequate contact with the person, causing them to slip through our fingers. It's time for a change when simply holding their arms or hugging them isn't enough.

The change: Drop Support is one of a kind in that it secures the user's entire upper body with a single point of contact. It's because of this centralised point of contact that you may provide full upper-body fall support without the requirement for bear hugging. A support system that has the potential to change your lives forever.

Factors that cause falls and strategies to reduce your risk of falling:

• Center of Gravity & Balance: Controlling the placement of the body's centre of gravity in relation to its base of support is one method to maintaining balance. We will quickly lose our balance and fall if we lean forward or backward and allow our centre of gravity to travel beyond our base of support, unless we shift our centre of gravity back over our base or adjust our base of support such that it remains under our centre of gravity.
• Gravity: Gravity accelerates objects at a rate of 32 feet per second squared towards the ground. With gravity constantly pulling us downward, it's no surprise that even a minor fall can result in serious damage.
• Friction: Friction, or more specifically, a lack of friction, is another fall element, in addition to balance and gravity. Friction is the force that prevents one solid item from moving relative to another. It's crucial to keep enough friction or traction on your feet while walking to avoid falling. As a result, friction is a fall element that must be managed.
• Momentum: The final fall aspect we'll talk about is momentum. The mass and speed of an object determine its momentum. The momentum of an object indicates how much force is required to bring it to a halt. Momentum can become a stumbling block in a number of ways. For starters, gaining too much momentum by driving too fast might make it harder to come to a complete stop when confronted with an unforeseen hazard. Second, when our motion rises, the amount of friction required to keep our feet from slipping on the travelling surface rises as well. To put it another way, the more momentum we have, the more likely we are to collapse. Finally, keep in mind that "a moving body tends to continue moving." When our basis of support, our feet, are abruptly stopped, our centre of gravity tends to remain in motion and may extend too far beyond our base of support, resulting in a loss of balance and a fall.

Balance & Center of Gravity:Use of the support handle, an assistance can aid the user in restoring their balance by assisting them discover their centre of gravity and base of support. If the user begins to fall forward, backwards, or side-to-side, the assistant utilises the support handle to adjust the direction of the fall to re-establish the user's centre of gravity and allowing the user to locate their base of support, which the user will then be stable and balanced.

Attraction: The assistance has a higher chance of halting the user's forward/downward movement before it gains acceleration when the Drop Support harness is properly placed and firmly attached. The assistant is more likely to be able to regulate the user's descent if the user's momentum is limited or reduced, which is safer for both the user and the assistance.
