Doctor of the Zainsk CDH reminded residents about measures to prevent summer injuries
According to the expert, traffic accidents remain one of the main causes of injuries in the warmer months. Of particular concern are cases involving children, cyclists, and users of electric scooters.
"In summer, children spend more time outdoors, riding bicycles and scooters, while not always following the rules of the road. It is very important to use protective equipment — helmets, knee pads and elbow pads. These simple measures significantly reduce the risk of serious injury," said Sergey Esaulov.
Accidents on children's playgrounds are another common reason for visits to traumatologists. The doctor reminds that young children should be under constant adult supervision.
In summer, the number of sports injuries sustained during football, volleyball, basketball and other outdoor activities also increases. Before physical exertion, it is recommended to warm up, use suitable sports shoes and follow safety rules.
