Hip Protectors

Hip protectors are specialized devices or pads worn around the hips designed to absorb and lessen the impact during falls. They are especially useful for older adults or individuals at higher risk of hip fractures. Made from shock-absorbing materials, these protectors help reduce the force transmitted to the bones, potentially preventing serious breaks. They can be worn discreetly under clothing and are part of fall prevention strategies. While not a guarantee to prevent all hip injuries, they offer an additional layer of protection, especially when combined with safe mobility practices and environmental modifications.
