I REFER to the special report Falls Can Be Deadly For Elderly by Matthew Jenkin (News Shopper, June 17).
Anyone who feels at risk of a fall might be interested in Readi Safehip, the hip protector.
A range of styles of protective underwear produced in co-operation with the physiotherapy department at Queen Alexandra Hospital, Portsmouth, by Robinson Healthcare, Lawn Road Industrial Estate, Carlton in Lindrick, Worksop, Nottinghamshire, S81 9LB.
Call 01909 735000, email enquiry@robinsonhealthcare.com or visit robinsonhealthcare.com
These protectors may be obtained by mail order and I can recommend them as a comfortable boost to confidence after a fall.
I have suggested to Robinson Healthcare it considers developing something of the kind to protect the knee.
