ICY WEATHER TIPS: • Wear appropriate footwear such as flat shoes with rubber soles and take small steps. • Use hand rails where they are provided, especially when walking up or down steps. • Avoid carrying heavy loads and keep your arms free to help with balance. • Keep yourself and others safe when entering a building by using floor mats to remove excess moisture from the bottom on your shoes. • Don’t rush! Give yourself plenty of time to reach your destination and never run on icy ground. The most common type of wrist fracture is usually caused by a fall on an out stretched hand. Often called a FOOSH, these distal radius fractures are quite frequent during winter months from slips and falls on ice and snow. (Kleinert Kutz Hand Care)
