Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease that primarily affects the elderly, causing pain, stiffness, and decreased mobility. For those with OA, the risk of falls increases due to impaired balance and joint instability. LIREN Company Limited specializes in manufacturing innovative fall prevention products designed to enhance safety and quality of life for seniors with osteoarthritis. Our range includes bed sensor pads, chair sensor pads, nurse call receivers, pagers, floor mats, and monitors.
The Impact of Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis affects millions of seniors worldwide. It results from the breakdown of cartilage, leading to symptoms like:
● Joint Pain: Persistent discomfort, especially during or after movement.
● Stiffness: Reduced flexibility and difficulty moving the joint after periods of inactivity.
● Swelling: Inflammation around the affected joints.
● Limited Range of Motion: Difficulty performing daily tasks due to restricted joint movement.
Risk Factors for Falls in Osteoarthritis Patients
Seniors with osteoarthritis face an increased risk of falls because of:
● Pain and Stiffness: These symptoms impair mobility and balance, making falls more likely.
● Muscle Weakness: Reduced physical activity due to pain can lead to muscle atrophy.
● Joint Instability: OA can cause joint deformities and instability, further compromising balance.

Bed Sensor Pads
Our bed sensor pads are placed under the patient and detect when a patient attempts to get out of bed. These pads send immediate alerts to caregivers, allowing them to assist promptly and prevent potential falls.
Chair Sensor Pads
Similar to bed sensor pads, our chair sensor pads monitor patients seated in chairs or wheelchairs. These pads alert caregivers if a patient tries to leave their seat without assistance, ensuring continuous supervision.

Nurse Call Receivers and Pagers
Effective communication between patients and caregivers is crucial. Our nurse call receivers and pagers facilitate immediate communication. Patients can easily alert caregivers if they need assistance, ensuring timely help and reducing the likelihood of falls.
Floor Mats
Our floor mats are strategically placed in high-risk areas, such as next to the bed or in the bathroom. These mats detect pressure and alert caregivers if a patient steps on them, enabling swift intervention.
Monitors
Continuous monitoring is vital for the safety of patients with osteoarthritis. Our monitors provide real-time data on the patient’s movements and condition, allowing caregivers to respond quickly to any signs of distress or unsupervised movement.

Integrating LIREN’s fall prevention products into care plans for seniors with osteoarthritis enhances their safety and provides peace of mind to their families and caregivers. Our user-friendly and highly effective solutions ensure that seniors can maintain their independence while being protected from fall-related injuries.
