【扶手電梯意外　跌倒預防要留神】

早前石門京瑞廣場發生扶手電梯長者連環跌倒意外，造成十人受傷送院。首先，謹此祝願所有傷者早日康復，平安無事。

其實跌倒不單止發生在家中，公共地方亦同樣高危。對於長者或行動稍慢人士，使用扶手電梯時需要格外小心：
• 上落電梯前先停一停，確保身體平衡再踏上。
• 緊握扶手，雙腳與肩同寬站立，避免提重物或分心看手機。
• 如使用拐杖或助行器，建議改用升降機更安全。
• 陪同長者的家人，可先一步扶持或選擇較少人潮時使用。

從職業治療角度，跌倒預防並非只靠「小心」兩個字，而是要從環境、身體功能同埋安全意識多方面著手。社區同營運場所亦應檢視設施，確保有足夠的扶手、防滑設計，以及清晰提示，讓大家安心出入。

跌倒帶來的後果，對長者身體同心理都可能造成長遠影響。透過正確的知識同實際措施，我哋可以減少意外，保護自己同身邊人。

STEP Health 一直致力推廣「家居及社區安全」，如有需要，可向我們查詢專業的防跌評估及建議。

願大家都能安全出行，健康生活。

職業治療在認知障礙症康復過程中扮演極其重要嘅角色。傳統觀念往往將注意力集中於藥物治療或護理，但近年研究已證實，透過有系統嘅復康介入，患者能夠延緩功能衰退，維持自我照顧及日常生活獨立，甚至在某些範疇上獲得改善 。

復康並不單純針對「治癒」，而係協助患者保持生活功能同尊嚴。例如，透過職業治療評估及介入，可以為患者訂立實際而有意義嘅目標，無論係穿衣、進食、記憶策略、家居安全，抑或社交參與，都能因應個別需要而獲得支援。此過程同時亦惠及照顧者，因為專業指導可減輕壓力、提升照顧技巧，令整個家庭嘅生活質素得到改善。

世界認知障礙症報告強調，復康應被視為基本權利，而非附加選項。可惜，現實中不少患者因為認知障礙而被排除於復康服務之外，導致錯失維持功能嘅黃金機會。社區需要更多關注，並認識到早期及持續嘅復康介入，能有效延遲入住院舍時間，減少醫療及社會成本 。

專業團隊能提供全面評估、治療計劃及持續支援，協助患者及家屬一同面對挑戰。若身邊有長者正經歷記憶或功能退化，及早尋求職業治療介入，將有助提升生活尊嚴與質素。

Care for Yourself Before Caring for Others

Many caregivers believe they must “hold it together” to support their families.
But prolonged stress and fatigue can trigger warning signs—insomnia, irritability, reduced focus, or even physical pain.

At STEP Health, we encourage caregivers to:
• Take 10 minutes daily for stretching or deep breathing
• Stay connected with friends or support groups
• Give yourself quiet time—without feeling guilty

A healthier you means stronger, more reliable care for your loved ones.
If you’d like to learn more about stress relief and self-care tips, we’re here to help.

照顧別人前，先照顧好自己

很多照顧者以為，自己要「撐得住」才有能力幫家人。
但長時間的壓力和疲勞，會令身體和情緒出現警號——失眠、易怒、專注力下降、甚至身體痛症。

STEP Health 鼓勵每位照顧者：
• 每天抽 10 分鐘做伸展或深呼吸
• 與朋友或支援小組保持聯絡
• 給自己一個安靜的空間，不必感到愧疚

因為健康的你，才能給家人最穩定的支持。
如果你想知道更多減壓及自我照顧的方法，我們很樂意與你分享。

“I Can Still Do It!” — Rebuilding Life After Stroke

Mr. Lee, 72, felt hopeless after a mild stroke left his right hand weak—he couldn’t even hold chopsticks.
With home-based occupational therapy, he learned to use adaptive chopsticks, practiced hand stretches, and gradually transitioned back to normal utensils.

Two months later, he can eat independently and even help his wife prepare vegetables.
Smiling, he says: “I can still do it!”

At STEP Health, we believe:
• Small steps can lead to big confidence
• Rehab doesn’t just happen in hospitals—home can be the best training ground

If you or your loved one are working to regain daily skills, we’d be happy to explore the best rehab solutions together.

Rehab Without Location Limits—Thanks to Technology

Traditionally, post-discharge monitoring relied on scheduled follow-ups or phone calls, which often failed to detect issues promptly.
Now, wearable cardiac monitoring devices are being trialled in Hong Kong hospitals, allowing real-time tracking of heart rate, rhythm, and blood pressure—data sent directly to hospital systems for timely intervention.

For older adults or those with mobility issues, this means:
• Fewer exhausting trips to clinics
• Earlier detection of abnormalities
• Health updates accessible to both healthcare teams and family members

At STEP Health, we’re exploring how such innovations can be integrated into occupational therapy to make rehab more flexible and life-friendly.
If you’d like to learn how these tools can support home-based health management, we’d love to talk.

科技令復康不再受地點限制

傳統上，病人出院後的健康監察主要靠定期覆診或電話跟進，但很多時候未能即時發現問題。
近年，可穿戴式心臟監測裝置在香港開始應用，讓醫護可以遠端即時掌握病人的心跳、心律與血壓狀況，為復康加多一層保障。

對於長者或行動不便的人來說，這意味著：
• 減少舟車勞頓的覆診次數
• 及早發現異常情況
• 醫護與家屬可同時掌握健康狀況

STEP Health 也關注如何將這些新科技與職業治療服務結合，讓復康變得更靈活、更貼近生活。
如果你想知道更多這類技術如何應用在家居健康管理，歡迎與我們傾談。

Fall Prevention for Seniors Is More Than Watching Your Step

Many believe preventing falls is just about avoiding slippery floors, but health and environmental factors matter just as much.
Recently, during Hong Kong’s extreme heat, some seniors have fainted or lost balance due to dehydration, blood pressure changes, or fatigue—especially those with chronic conditions or mobility issues.

As occupational therapists, we help seniors by:
• Physical health: Simple balance and strength exercises to improve stability
• Daily habits: Staying hydrated and avoiding prolonged outdoor activities in strong sun
• Home environment: Installing grab bars, non-slip mats, and better lighting

Preventing falls is not just about “walking carefully” but about adjusting daily life as a whole.
If you’re concerned about the safety of an older family member, feel free to talk to us about ways to reduce risks.

長者防跌，不只是留意地面

很多人以為防跌只需注意地滑，其實身體狀況與環境因素同樣重要。
最近天氣酷熱，不少長者因為脫水、血壓波動或體力下降而失去平衡，甚至暈倒。

作為職業治療師，我們會從三方面協助長者：
• 身體狀況：安排簡單平衡及肌力訓練，提升穩定度
• 生活習慣：提醒按時飲水、避免長時間在烈日下活動
• 家居環境：安裝扶手、防滑墊及改善照明

預防跌倒並不只是「小心行路」，而是整體生活安排的改變。
如果你擔心家中長者的安全，歡迎與我們傾談，看看有什麼方法可以減低風險。
