The older you get, the more likely you are to experience a fall. Of course, falling is always unfortunate, but it can have more serious consequences when old age sets in than when you were still young.
Preventing falls for the elderly is essential as dizziness, balance problems, and weakened muscle strength are some of the most common causes of falls in this age group. A VELA chair is fall prevention for the elderly.
When an elderly person falls, it can result in fractured bones – e.g. hip or thigh fractures. Unfortunately, this often has serious consequences:
Unfortunately, it is also often the case that the consequences of a fall can lead to poorer mobility and result in another fall. Moreover, the fear of falling again can also leave its mark, and you might try to avoid specific situations and various activities because you want to prevent the next fall.
This can significantly lower the quality of life for the elderly, and, among other things, this is what good fall prevention should counteract.

Preventing falls for the elderly can have significant physical and psychological consequences, which is why an office chair with a brake and an electric lift from VELA can be a good aid. It provides a feeling of safety and stability, both physically and mentally, so that the fear of falling can be forgotten for a while.
Many falls happen in the home. Either in the kitchen, living room or bedroom. With a fall prevention chair, you can easily and safely move from room to room while sitting down.
There are many benefits of preventing falls among the elderly. This means fewer accidents, fewer hospitalisations and fewer after-effects. Therefore, we would, of course, recommend that you get a VELA chair before an accident happens. Use it when you are tired to prevent yourself from falling.
A fall prevention chair for the elderly offers security when your strength fails. At the same time, the chair creates a stable foundation to continue your usual activities, which will help you to maintain a good quality of life, even though you may be afraid of falling.
