Everyone of all ages will experience muscle weakness or decreased strength at some point in their lives. According to studies, the average person can lose between 3-5% of their muscle mass each decade after age 30, and up to 50% by age 80. Since our senior loved ones are most likely to experience a decline in strength and balance, they need constant assistance to help them accomplish their activities of daily living. Hiring a Home Health Aide is the best thing to do.
However, if you experience strength loss because of your chronic health condition, there are Registered Nurses in Illinois who can provide you skilled care while at the same time improving your quality of life.
Common causes of strength loss include, but are not limited to:
- Muscle or joint pain
- Muscle tear or strain
- Inactivity, aging, and poor balance
- Infection or post-surgical status
- Pregnancy, diabetes, chronic lung disease, and heart disease
