Clinical trials have demonstrated that a hip protector effectively reduces the risk of hip fractures in the event of a fall. With this aid, you can move more confidently and reduce the risk of injury.
It is always easier to prevent an injury than to treat it afterward. This is precisely the purpose of a hip protector.
A hip protector is a highly effective and simple aid, providing you with greater safety and peace of mind in everyday life. If an accident occurs and you fall, a hip protector significantly reduces injury and the risk of hip fractures.
You will benefit from using a hip protector if you:
- Have mobility issues
- Suffer from osteoporosis
- Struggle with impaired vision that affects your mobility
As many know, falls can have severe consequences if you are older or weakened, so it makes sense to protect yourself if you are in the risk group.
Many seniors worry about falling at home, and a hip protector helps ease the mind and reduce anxiety. It is a preventative safety measure that offers a greater sense of security in daily life—not least for relatives.
## Hip Protector - A Unique Type of Underwear
At Seniorshop, you can find different types of hip protectors: some are worn as underwear, while others wrap around the hips like a belt.
The former type of hip protector can be used both as regular underwear or as overpants. Despite their shock-absorbing pads on each side, these pants are very discreet and suitable for both men and women.
The hip protectors have horseshoe-shaped pads sewn into the pants, so they don't need to be replaced. They can be washed at 95 degrees and tumble-dried afterward.
You can choose from many different sizes, and the fabric is comfortably elastic, ensuring they neither tighten nor irritate. You can find your size by measuring the circumference of your hips (see guidance and size chart under product).
The belt-like hip protector can be worn over or under clothing, depending on your needs. It features a Velcro closure, making it extra easy to put on and take off.
