(Medical-NewsWire.com, March 18, 2015 ) Titusville, FL -- Stroke has always been at the top spot among the leading causes of mortality in America. According to University Hospital Newark, NJ, it is the number one cause of disability among adults. "More than 4 million people in the United States have survived a stroke or brain attack and are living with the after-effects." Worse, it does not only affect the stroke victim, but his/her family as well.
To somehow lighten the load of the family members, they could use bed alarm pad systems so that they would not need to look after their stroke patient 24/7. Syrtenty® bed pad alarm comes with an antimicrobial alarm pad that could be placed under the back of the patient. This sensor pad would then sound the alarm monitor once the patient tries to get off the bed on his/her own. With this bed alarm, caregivers would not need to spend their whole day and night watching their patient.
Based on research, in a course of a lifetime, stroke will affect 4 out of 5 families in the U.S. Surviving this disease sometimes proves to become a curse than a blessing because 40% of stroke survivors become disabled. These people would then need constant care and attention from their family caregivers.
Some of stroke's effects on the survivor is loss of balance, hemiplegia or hemiparesis (paralysis of one side of the body), loss of coordination, foot drop, and decreased range of motion. These make the patient at risk to accidental falls that could be fatal. Thus, they would need constant assistance in moving around the house, and in going places.
However, the cognitive impairment also brought about by the stroke makes them disregard their condition. These patients have the tendency to still think that they are capable of doing things on their own. This makes it difficult for caregivers because they would need to keep an eye on their patients so that they will always be available to assist them if they need to do something such as going to the bathroom.
Syrtenty® bed alarm plays both noise and musical alarm, and has volume control. It is also battery operated, so it is easy to set up and use.
