Stiegelmeyer products can contribute to maintaining, promoting and regaining mobility and independence.
Falls and fall-related injuries are common in older adults, have negative effects on functional independence and quality of life and are associated with increased health related costs. The aftermath of a fall leads to further impairments, which can also have social consequences. If people lose confidence in their own mobility as a result, they will avoid activities for fear of falls. Reducing the risk of falls and minimising the impact they have on peoples’ lives therefore also plays a role when it comes to quality of life.
