We provide peace of mind to parents of small children, adult children of aging
parents, caregivers and medical professionals concerned with the serious problem
of fall injuries.

Head injuries from falls are the leading cause of fatal injuries in adults 65
and older.  Plum’s®  Fall Safety ProtectaCap+Plus®  helmets have a
dual-protective core for advanced protection with a comfortable, ergonomic fit.

In older adults, medications can affect the central nervous system, such as
opioids, antidepressants, anticonvulsants, benzodiazepines  and sleeping aids
increase the risk of falls resulting in hip fractures.  Although vigilant and
conscientious, family members and medical professionals cannot always prevent a
fall.  Hip fractures from falls are a serious concern.   Plum’s® ProtectaHip®
Hip Protectors are the original, award-winning hip protectors with the proven
track record for safety and comfort with 5 styles for men and women. See 
Plum’s® ProtectaHip® Hip Protectors.



Injuries to knees, elbows and shins are the third most common injuries from
falls. Plum’s® ProtectaWrap® extremity protectors comfortably adapt to knees,
elbows, shins and forearms to protect against impacts and fall injuries.
ProtectaWrap’s® sleek style hides its ProtectaWrap® protective pad while
absorbing impact energy and protecting fragile skin. Only Plum’s® ProtectaWrap®
protective splints provide superior safety, gentle acu-compression™ and
customized range of movement. See: Plum’s® ProtectaWrap® Protective Splints with

PLUM® FACTS & STATS FOR YOUR HEALTH & WELLNESS

Age-related deterioration in bone and muscle manifested as low bone mineral
density [BMD] and sarcopenia often result in fractures.  Sarcopenia is a
progressive and generalized skeletal muscle disorder involving the accelerated
loss of muscle mass and function that is associated with increased adverse
outcomes including falls, functional decline, frailty, and mortality. Falls,
fall injuries and functional impairments are linked with low bone mineral
density.  Traumatic brain injuries [TBI] and hip fractures from falls are of
serious concern, as such falls often result in morbidity and mortality. 
 Protection of the head and the hip area [the greater trochanter] can help
prevent injuries from falls.
– Journal of American Geriatrics Association

Falls are the leading cause of traumatic brain injury-related emergency
department visits in children up to age 4.
– Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

Hip fractures are the most frequent type of fall-related fracture, with
traumatic brain injuries second, and extremity injuries third.

In the United States older adults are more likely to be hospitalized for
traumatic injury than younger individuals with rates increasing at least 5%
annually.  People aged 65 and older account for more than 25% of trauma
admissions.  Most trauma in older adults is related to falls.  Severe trauma in
older adults can have particularly devastating consequences including long
hospitalization and rehabilitation, permanent functional impairment and death.
Hip fracture after a fall is associated with high morbidity and costs  and has
been a growing public health concern for decades.
– Journal of American Geriatrics Association

Playgrounds are wonderful and important places for children to have fun,
explore, and grow. Children learn through play and need
opportunities to take risks, test their limits, and learn new
skills through free play. Playgrounds can also put children at risk
for concussion.
– The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

Approximately 30% of people ages 60 and older will fall in any 12-month period.
– Journal of American Geriatrics Association

Falls have become a health crisis. The frequency, morbidity, and mortality rates
of falls increase every day. The cost of falls is increasing at an even greater
pace.
– The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

About 1.7 million Americans sustain a traumatic brain injury each year.  Falls
are the leading cause of traumatic brain injury, which can result in decline of
basic cognitive skills, vision problems, balance disorders and depression.
– The National Institutes of Health

One in three adults 65 and older fall at least once a year, with 1 out of 3 not
able to live independently as a result of the fall.
–  The National Safety Council

There is no such thing as a mild head injury. It’s a misnomer.
– Vani Rao, MD, Director, Brain Injury Program, and Neuropsychiatrist

Hip fractures contribute to a large proportion of deaths in the elderly
population.
– Journal of American Geriatrics Association

Fall-related injuries are the leading cause of injury hospitalizations in
elderly individuals. Hip fractures cause the greatest number of deaths and lead
to the most severe health problems and poorer quality of life. Patients with
hospital re-admissions after hip fracture are nearly twice as likely to die
within one year.
– Journal of the American Geriatrics Society

A blow to the head that at first seems minor and does not result in immediate
pain or other symptoms can in fact turn out to be a life-threatening brain
injury.
– Duke University Medical Center’s Neurosciences Critical Care Unit

Osteoporosis is one of the major public health problems facing elderly,
particularly older women, with hip fracture the most severe consequence.
–  Journal of the American Geriatrics Society

Regardless of age, sex, socioeconomic status and residence, having suffered a
single concussion in one’s lifetime increased the likelihood of later being
diagnosed with:

 * Parkinson’s disease by 57%
 * Dementia by 72%
 * ADHD (Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) by 39%
 * Mood and Anxiety Disorders (MADs) by 72%
 * Sustaining multiple concussions further increased the risk for developing
   both PD and dementia.

–  Parkinson’s Foundation

Studies have demonstrated that  one in three non-institutionalized seniors will
sustain at least one fall per year and that 50% of these individuals will suffer
significant  injury.  Injuries pose a significant burden in terms of loss of
life, reduced quality of life, and economic cost.  Other suffering includes
disability , loss of confidence in physical and functional abilities, fear of
falling, increased social isolation, and increased dependency on caregivers,
loss of mobility, and long-term institutionalization.
–  Journal of the American Geriatrics Society

Among children up to age 15, traumatic brain injury causes about 2,685 deaths,
37,000 hospitalizations, and 435,000 emergency room visits each year, according
to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The experts think
that many more cases are never reported; kids, parents, and coaches often don’t
recognize the symptoms of brain injury, which is also called concussion; and
many think kids should “play hurt.”
– The Centers for Disease Control

Falls are common occurrences in elderly people worldwide and have several
adverse consequences, such as physical injuries, psychological distress,
decreased functioning and diminished quality of life.
– Journal of the American Geriatrics Society

Certain types of head injuries may increase your risk of developing Alzheimer’s
disease or other types of dementia later in life. The factors that seem to
affect your risk include your age at the time of the injury and the severity of
the injury. More-severe head injuries may increase your risk of developing
Alzheimer’s disease.  And sustaining a head injury when you’re older, around age
55, may also increase your risk. Repeated mild injuries also may increase your
risk of future problems with thinking and reasoning.
– The Mayo Clinic

In 2010 258,000 people aged 65 and older were admitted to the hospital for hip
fractures. Worldwide it is estimated that the annual incidence of hip fractures
will reach 2.6 million in 2025.  Approximately half of persons experiencing hip
fracture will experience a new permanent disability.  One-quarter of women and
one-third of men experiencing hip fracture will die in the following year.
– Journal of the American Geriatrics Society

“My daughter’s been wearing ProtectaCap for the past 7 years, since she was 14.
It’s worked great and protects her ears and sides of her face.  We’ve
machine-washed it repeatedly and it’s lasted wonderfully.” 
–  E. Wolff

“ProtectaHip® Active Lounge Pants™ is  the brand of hip protectors we use here.
I love the fact that the pads are not removed for washing, they are washable,
they are sized by hip/waist measurements and they is plenty of room for an adult
brief. They come in lounge pants 3 different lengths. They are not so tight that
the resident can pull them up and down easily for toileting so becoming
incontinent isn’t an issue. I just love them. I wore them all day at work with a
T-shirt, I slept in them, our skin integrity nurse slept in them. They are now
the only hip protectors we use station wide.   Let me add these are the only hip
protectors I have found that residents will wear more than once.”
–   VA Hospital

ProtectaCap®!  She even sleeps in it.  It’s a wonderful ‘Cap.  It’s the only

blows from seizures.  We thought it sounded too good to be true. But what a big
difference it’s made.   We know she’s not going to get hurt.”  
– J. Miller
