Statistics show that one out of three senior citizens will take a fall this year.  In addition to incurring huge unexpected expenses, he or she may be robbed of their independence, their ability to function, and in some cases, their lives. Hip fractures are the most frequent type of fall-related fractures followed by leg and feet fractures.  Head injuries are also common.
