Guest guest Posted July 23, 2002 Report Share Posted July 23, 2002 Sue#2, Thanx for the answer. I don't fall daily, so I don't think it is an equilibrium problem, but I fall at least once a month. Luckily, most times I have started to fall, I have been able to grab hold of something to keep from landing on my face. There have been times I've landed on the pavement & ripped myself to shreds (usually in a parking lot FULL of people--UGHGHGHGH). I just feel like my legs are rubber these days and have no strength whatsoever. It's rather frustrating to go from not falling since I was a little kid to falling regularly. I feel like one of those " Gumby " posable figures!! LOL Oh, and I love your idea about the necklace........order me one too, huh? Chris greywolf@... " Friends are angels who help us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly " ****************************************************************** SPAM: Re: falling > Dear > Although I really have not had a problem falling, I tend to trip a lot lately, because my left knee seems to be giving out. I do notice that I am not as steady on my feet as I used to be, and I am only 36.

" I've fallen and cannot get up, but then again...I don't want to get up, so just leave me here " ...lol....How often does " falling " occur for you Chris? Is it on a daily basis and do you feel that your equilibrium is perhaps off, because I know that this has happened to me, and I had an ear infection that I didn't know of. I know that some people here have taken some nasty falls, and it seems that they have been related to Stills at times, but I just find myself very clumsy, and I was never like this before. If it becomes a big problem I would definitely talk to my rheumy about it. Be well friend. > Love, Sue #2 > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 23, 2002 Report Share Posted July 23, 2002 I had surgery on my knee in 1996 and they did a lateral release to ease the pain in my knee. I have fallen a lot since then but I can't really say that my knee is the problem that allows or makes me fall. Sometimes if feels like my hip, and other times I am just plain too tired to stand up. If I were you, I think I would run the falls by each of my doctors for their opinions. You would not want to ignore a neurological or other medical problem. I hate knowing all the things wrong with me sometimes, but I also like to know so I can deal with it. Hope you find the cause soon, and that it is easily rectifyable.

Guest guest Posted July 23, 2002 Report Share Posted July 23, 2002 I've had falling episodes since all my symptoms started. One minute I'm fine...the next I've taken a dive! When in the hospital, they usually put me under " falling precautions. " That only means that I'm not supposed to get up by myself. Extremely inconvenient. Can you walk a straight line? Do you have problems with periodic losing your balance or dropping things? I do, and it bothers me. I figured it was the Stills, but I haven't seen too many posts about these symptoms. Sorry, I have no answer whether this is due to Stills (thought I think it is) or some other problem. Hope this helped in some way. Until then... Jul (lilac_rose@... ) falling Hi everyone! Hope all is well -- or as close as can be expected-- with everyone. I have a question -- does anyone have a problem with falling?

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 OK ,where does the casualty fall ie. what ground does he land on and which way up? Flat, prone ? OK, expect the usual head, neck trauma either way up...... #liver? Kilonewtons? Who cares? Who measures them or understands them anyway? Go to A & E and say your patient has just been subjected to ???? kilonewtons of force and the responce will be a blank look and a " who the feck is this? " Check out RTA's........... they are the worst statistically in the UK for ruptured Aortas and Livers i'm led to believe due to the kinetic force. (+seatbelt around the middle) Usually at high speed impacts but NOT always. A fall from a great height mostly leaves the liver in tact, kidneys and other abdominal organs.The lungs can withstand alot too.............. then again, it depends what height you're falling from what age you are etc......

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 Thanks all for your comments The point I am studying is not the " Hitting the ground bit " , but the falling onto the fall arrest system as outlined in the original question. I thought that some of you may be working within working at height regulations and may have had access to this info. Generally I understand a fall arrest lanyard is 'deployed' in a factor 1 fall with approx 6 kilonewtons - and your aorta shears at about 7 kn leaving very little room for poor technique. But the research on this is poor. A fall onto a fall arrest lanyard with factor 2 involvement is fatal (recently creating 13kn in a drop test manikin study) Hence the question- For those that understand the above I would appreciate pointing in the direction of absolute facts. In simple language as i understand it you can fall on to a fall arrest lanyard - 2 metres - deploy the fall arrest system - thereby falling 3-4 metres in total and the deceleration force involved (not hitting anything at all) will cause Aortic shear. If any of you do have access to the info or suppot teams who work at heights please please help. I stress again i am not interested in the hitting the ground bit ! Please read the question! DH Falling Guys hi I am doing a bit of research on the forces encountered whilst falling onto fall arrest systems and wondered if anybody knew about the exact forces involved - specifically those below how much force in kilo newtons to shear an aorta? how much force to shear other organs? how much force before the cheesewire of life (teres) cuts the liver in half Also is there any published book / research? thanks all Dave Halliwell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 Andy T Old squaddie saying i am sure you can relate to.........RTFQ! ( " Read the f...ing question " ) He is asking about fall arrest systems. Dave, Contact " The Access Group " http://www.the-access-group.com/sal.html They are a UK based company who are fairly well recognised in the supply and fit of fall arrest systems. I would have expected them to have detailed research on the forces exerted when their systems are deployed. As second port of call would be the IRATA website or Rigg-access forum where a large number of the dopes on ropes hang out, they would be able to point you in the direction of some research papers on the subject. http://www.irata.org/index.asp http://www.rigg-access.com/ Hope that helps Regards Buchanan > Message Received: Dec 06 2006, 06:36 PM > From: " Brown " > > Cc: > Subject: Re: Falling > > Hi dave, I wonder whether it would be worth contacting the manufacturers of > the fall arrest systems, on my last job we used the gotcha rescue system, I > am sure they would have researched the ins and outs of kinetic energy etc. > > Just a thought. > > Tony > > > >From: andrewturnbull69@... > >Reply- > > > >Subject: Re: Falling > >Date: Tue, 05 Dec 2006 19:23:23 -0500 > > > >OK ,where does the casualty fall ie. what ground does he land on and which > >way up? > >Flat, prone ?

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 Hi..i am not sure where you got the figures stated from..but if you take a climbers angle who falls on his protection will normally falll a factor of 2 but if (as does happen) thier protection pulls out they will finally come to rest on a solid chock and thier fall factor could be in the range of 4 or even upto 8 i have seen a number of theses falls and experienced a couple and no aortic shears occured i am not saying they don,t i just think your values you have found will be (are) wrong .

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 could the stimulator turned up and then causing you to fall? my stimulator has a led is at c-10 which controls both legs my other section is back and legs then just back maybe the stimulation settings are not correct. when i turn up leg stimulation my legs will move jump it freaks my wife out of course im sitting when i do this. Either your settings are to strong or your rep might need to redo your settings. also try to have a cane use it till your settings are adjusted. it sounds like your settings are off Mike group owner > > From: UCJAM1977@... <UCJAM1977@...> > Subject: Re: Falling > Stimulator > Date: Thursday, August 7, 2008, 8:52 AM > > > > > > > Does your falling have something to do with your injury or your rsd as > opposed to the scs? > > > In a message dated 8/6/2008 8:53:59 P.M.
