My Mom fell shortly after her 95th birthday through no fault of anyones – she suffered what is known as a ‘pathological fracture.’ The term was unfamiliar to me, but, with a bit of internet sleuthing, I understood.
A pathological fracture is when a bone breaks (usually because of osteoporosis) and then the fall occurs. Strengthening the bones is the only way to prevent this kind of fracture.
It’s never too late to strengthen bones through exercise. Here’s a few good DVDs to do just that.
