🔵 In #healthcare we often rely on logical reasoning to promote movement. 🔴 Whereas appealing to emotion is more likely to result in the desired #motivation and action. To avoid deconditioning we need to #MakeMovementMeaningful❗ #EndPjParalysis #NHS #SocialCare

👣 #Falls and the relentless march of time ⏰, two things we cannot stop. 🚶🏽‍♀️🚶🏻‍♂️🚶🏿‍♀️🚶🏼 Much better to promote movement, mobility, freedom and independence. #NHS #PatientSafety #EndPjParalysis

🎤 Falls prevention: 👉 Focus on #MOVEMENT promotion 👉 Don't let a fear if #Falling dictate decision making 👉 Ensure movement is meaningful 👉 Pursue a #culture of connection rather than #safety #NHS youtu.be/LJxbIBqXYxo

⚡ We sometimes get cause and effect the wrong way round, and this clouds our judgement about what to do next. Encouraging movement comes with risk, but the alternative is even worse❗

💥Don't let a fear of falling hamper efforts to get patients moving. 👉 Falls MAY occur if they do move. 👉 Deconditioning WILL occur if they don't. ❌Bed rest isn't harmless, it's harmful.
