Falls among adults 65 and older
caused over 38,000 deaths in 2021,
making it the leading cause of injury death for that group.
In 2021, emergency departments
recorded nearly 3 million visits for older adult falls.
Study released in 2017 found that
nearly 50 percent of falls among older adults
occur outdoors.
Your eyesight, hearing, and reflexes might not be as sharp as they were when you were younger.
Certain conditions, such as diabetes, heart disease, or problems with your thyroid, nerves, feet, or blood vessels can affect your balance and lead to a fall.
Conditions that cause rushed movement to the bathroom, such as incontinence, may also increase the chance of falling.
Older adults with mild cognitive impairment or certain types of dementia are at higher risk of falling.
Age-related loss of muscle mass (known as sarcopenia), problems with balance and gait, and blood pressure that drops too much when you get up from lying down or sitting (called postural hypotension) are all risk factors for falling.
Foot problems that cause pain, and unsafe footwear such as backless shoes or high heels, can also increase your risk of falling.
Some medications can increase a person’s risk of falling because they cause side effects such as dizziness or confusion. The more medications you take, the more likely you are to fall.
Safety hazards in the home or community environment can also cause falls.
When elderly use medical level exoskeleton
they still need crutch to keep balance.

Exploring elements between outdoor，lifestyle，wellness，and warm emotions
Early Explorations using Sketch，Ai， CAD， and quick renders for VIVANTE 00 with the focus on how the engineering parts fit in to user bodies and support crucial parts. These studies include different handles, engineering directions, silhouettes to define a friendly and comfortable shape for daily companionship.
I studied existing rehabilitation exoskeletons and mobility aids and, together with research on key functional components, explored several possible engineering packages. Some concepts focus on transforming between different configurations, while others emphasize simplicity and portability. I also examined potential interaction models—how users would operate, wear, and integrate the device into their daily routines.
