DISCOVERING HOME HEALTH SERVICES

means: leaving your home isn’t recommended because of your condition and/ or your condition keeps you from leaving home without help, meaning you rely on a wheelchair or walker, someone to transport you or help from someone else and/or leaving home is a taxing effort. Medicare does however allow a person to leave home for Doctor appointments or for short and infrequent religious services.

Submitted by Whiteside County Health Department

Many people may not realize that they could possibly qualify for Home Health Care. Medicare will pay for you to have certain health services provided in your home if you meet specific eligibility requirements, which include that the care is ordered by a physician and that physician deems these services as reasonable and necessary.

Most times home health care is less expensive than inpatient care. It is definitely more convenient since patients do not have to leave their home. The care is also as beneficial and as professional as the care you would receive in the hospital. Whiteside HomeCare services are provided by highly skilled Registered Nurses and Home Health Aides, many who have been here over 15 years.

You would be considered eligible for

HomeCare services if: 1. You are under the care of a Physician 2. Your Physician certifies that you need intermittent skilled nursing care, physical therapy, occupational therapy or speech therapy 3. The Home Health Agency caring for you is Medicare certified 4. You are homebound We find many patients may not meet the “homebound” criteria, therefore they are not eligible for our services to be paid for by Medicare. It is clearly defined by Medicare that homebound

Whiteside HomeCare being licensed under Medicare, provides skilled “intermittent” visits. We are not the type of agency that provides homemakers or someone to stay with you all day or do cooking or cleaning. There are agencies out there specifically for those needs.

Based on your needs, Medicare pays your Home Health Agency for an “episode of care”. When your Home Health Agency takes you on as a Homecare patient, they agree to accept the amount Medicare pays them for those services so there will be no out of pocket expense to the patient.

You are probably wondering what exactly does Medicare pay for? In a nutshell they pay for Skilled Nursing care, Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Speech Therapy, Home Health Aides and Social Services.

Medicare does only pay for you to get care from one home health agency at a time. If at any time you decide to discontinue services with one agency, you may contact your physician to get

a referral to another agency. A great way to help you to decide which Home Health Agency you may want to use is to ask friends or family about their home experience, or possibly ask an outreach worker at the senior center, or the social workers / discharge planners at the hospital can supply you with a list.

Once you decide which HomeCare Agency you would like to care for you, your physician’s office or hospital staff will contact the agency with the referral. Then the agency will contact you to come to your home for an “Admission” visit. The agency is required to have physician orders to begin your care. At that point, your Home Health Agency will work with you and your physician to develop your plan of care. This plan of care lists what kind of services / care you will receive.

Medical supplies are generally covered, such as wound dressing as long as they are ordered as part of your care.

So, if you are currently hospitalized and your Physician is considering discharging you, ask him/her if you could benefit from HomeCare. Your choice in selecting a HomeCare Agency should be honored by your Physician, Social Worker or Discharge Planner. There are currently three Medicare Certified HomeCare Providers in Whiteside County. You may compare these agencies by going to www.medicare.gov/HHcompare. This will compare home health agencies by the types of services they offer and the quality of care they provide to their patients compared to states and national averages.

Discover Home Health Services and whether you may qualify. Remember, you have a choice in selecting your home health provider. Choose Whiteside HomeCare….it’s what HomeCare Ought to Be!

Feeling sick?

Submitted by Now Care

Or do you have a kid who does-but you find out that your doctor’s office cannot fit you in for another week? Primarycare physicians are not the only game in town. In fact, depending on where you live, you may have several places to turn, including an urgent care clinic and an in-store “retail clinic” set up in a grocery store or pharmacy along with the local hospital emergency department.

The inevitable question then becomes: Which level of care should you seek-and for what ailments?

Here’s the rub: Based on conversations with an emergency department doctor, a primary-care physician who runs and co-owns an urgent care clinic, and a nurse practitioner who cares for patients at clinics inside pharmacies, it turns out there are no black-and-white answers.

You can do your own triage, however,

7

and potentially avoid hours in a waiting room. Consider these points: Severity. You’ve undoubtedly heard the message on a physician’s voice mail: “If this is an emergency, call 911, or go to the nearest emergency room.” But how you define emergency might be entirely different from how a clinician working the ER does. Research has found that 82 percent of patients who were deemed “nonurgent” by triage nurses disagreed and thought their case was, in fact, urgent. That’s not to deter you from getting care at the local emergency department, however. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, only 12 percent of patients who come to the emergency department could safely wait between two and 24 hours to be seen (suggesting that they didn’t actually need the high level of service given in an ER and could possibly have gone elsewhere for treatment).

A general guideline: Crushing chest pain, severe bleeding, trouble breathing, or signs of stroke should have you

calling 911 immediately, says Angela F. Gardner, president-elect of the American College of Emergency Physicians and associate professor of emergency medicine at the University of Texas Southwestern in Dallas. Otherwise, “if you’re having serious symptoms and you think you need hospitalization or surgery, go to the emergency department,” she says; for example, an intense pain,

ment,” she says; for example, an intense pain, which could indicate appendicitis or a kidney stone. And if you don’t believe it’s life threatening, the primarycare physician is always the first call you should make, says Gardner. That is, if you have one. Some 20 percent of Americans don’t have a “medical home” to address primary-care needs like headaches, colds, or high blood sugar, says the American Academy of Family Physicians.

Urgent care clinics, on the other hand, are staffed by doctors trained in primary care or emergency medicine, often along with nurses. Patients can pay out of pocket, but insurance regularly covers a visit (with a copay). But services offered can really differ by clinic, says Lou Ellen Horwitz, executive director of the Urgent Care Association of America; some may have the ability to perform bloodwork, a chest X-ray, an EKG of the electrical pulses of a patient’s heart, or even a CAT scan, while others don’t. Patients would

9

be wise to call ahead to be sure their concern can be handled. The menu of offerings at urgent care centers, too, may be influenced by the type of clinicians who staff them. Those run by doctors trained in emergency medicine might cater more to one-time issues, like a cut or ankle sprain, while those run by doctors trained in family medicine might serve as a regular source of primary care-offering well-baby exams, pap smears, and prescriptions for chronic conditions, like high cholesterol or hypertension. “I have patients I’ve seen 50 times,” explains Phillip Disraeli, who coowns Metro Urgent Care in Frisco, Texas, and is director of clinical programs for the Urgent Care Association of America.

Quality. Since the first in-store clinics began to show up in 2000, concern has arisen among physicians (as well as the American Medical Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics) over the quality of care a person could expect to get at these centers, which are staffed by nurse practitioners. The hope, says

Gardener, is that if you go to an in-store clinic you have a clinician astute enough to recognize when something that appears to be simple is actually more serious. “How do patients really know how sick they are?” asks Disraeli. Getting a comprehensive assessment, he argues, may depend on where they seek care. Disraeli and Gardner both note that years of training and the technology make identifying the rare though serious anomaly more likely, say, when a headache is really an indicator of high blood pressure or a urinary tract infection is actually pelvic inflammatory disease. Of course, doctors are not beyond reproach and misdiagnose patients, too. Disraeli’s urgent care clinic has relationships with specialists in the community as well as hospitals. If a person goes to an in-store clinic, he says, he’d want the clinic to have a safety net for patients, including relationships with a nearby urgent care clinic, primary-care physicians, and hospitals.

But research published in an August issue of the Annals of Internal Medicine suggests that for three common ailments-earache, sore throat, and urinary tract infection-patients get care as good as that delivered by physicians in other settings. “We are acutely aware of what’s safe in our setting and what’s not,” explains Anne Pohnert, a nurse practitioner at Minute Clinics in Northern Virginia. She points out that many of the basic tests available in ERs and urgent care clinics-urinalysis, rapid strep throat testing, rapid flu testing-are also offered in the in-store clinic setting.

It’s not just about training. Pohnert notes that Minute Clinic’s use of an electronic medical system for each patient visit has prompts, for example, that alert her to a potentially bad drug interaction if she prescribes, say, Zithromax (an antibiotic) to someone who also takes Lipitor. The combination can damage muscle tissue. Having the system is an advantage that not even

every doctor’s office has, she says. Each Minute Clinic, she explains, has a list of local primary-care physicians taking new patients as well as nearby urgent care centers and hospitals for patient referrals. According to data from Take Care Clinics, which are found inside Walgreens stores, clinicians refer patients on to a higher level of care about 10 percent of the time (90 percent of which is to a primary-care physician and 1.5 percent of which is to an ER).

Timing. You’ll need to check hours of operation. Both urgent care centers and in-store clinics have extended hours beyond those of a typical doctor’s officeoften before or after work during the week plus hours on the weekends. The emergency department, of course, never closes and is federally mandated to take all comers, regardless of their ability to pay. A little-known truth about the ER, says Gardner, is that it’s busiest not on weekend nights when drunk revelers start getting in accidents (though that’s a hectic time, too). “The busiest day

11 is Monday afternoon,” she says. The reasons: People couldn’t get in to their doctors because the wait was too long, say a week or more, or they got injured over the weekend and waited. ‘What isn’t obvious is that [Monday] is the busiest operating room day in the hospital, and lots of beds are reserved for people coming out of the ORs or doctors’ clinics,” she explains. So folks who come in through the emergency department and need to be admitted must often wait in the ER. Cost. If bargain shopping is a motivation in your decision-making process, it seems in-store clinics may have the best deals. In the Annals of Internal Medicine study, the total cost per episode was found to vary by location: with a visit to a retail (or instore) clinic averaging $110, a visit to a physician’s office averaging $166, a visit to an urgent care clinic averaging $156, and a visit to an emergency department averaging $570.

What is Deep Tissue Massage?

muscle tension or injury, there are usually adhesions (bands of painful, rigid tissue) in muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Adhesions can block circulation and cause pain, limited movement, and inflammation.

Submitted by http://altmedicine.about.com/od/ massage/a/massage.htm

Deep tissue massage is a type of massage therapy that focuses on realigning deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue. It is especially helpful for chronic aches and pains and contracted areas such as stiff neck and upper back, low back pain, leg muscle tightness, and sore shoulders.

Some of the same strokes are used as classic massage therapy, but the movement is slower and the pressure is deeper and concentrated on areas of tension and pain in order to reach the sub-layer of muscles and the fascia (the connective tissue surrounding muscles).

How Does It Work?

Techniques - When there is chronic

Deep tissue massage works by physically breaking down these adhesions to relieve pain and restore normal movement. To do this, the massage therapist uses massage oil and often uses direct deep pressure. Muscles must be relaxed in order for the therapist to reach the deeper musculature.

Does Deep Tissue Massage Hurt?

At certain points during the massage, most people find there is usually some discomfort and pain.

It is important to tell the massage therapist when things hurt and if any soreness or pain you experience is outside your comfort range.

They take care of our needs...

We have lived at Resthave for a little over 1 year.

When our health started going down hill we needed to move somewhere we could get help because we couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t live alone anymore.

Resthave is highly respected in the community, so we knew we wanted to come live here. We knew a lot of people here that were pleased with the care they were receiving so that made the move easier and the transition comfortable.

The nurses are great and take fantastic care of us. Tami (Executive Director) is super.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really glad we made Resthave our home.

Don’t Sweat It! Submitted by http://www.betternutrition.com/ guide-to-exercise/features/featurearticles/1535

Confused about what type of exercise to do or which workout supplements to take? This simplified guide to fitness answers all your questions (and includes yummy pre- and post-workout recipes) When it comes to beginning an exercise regimen, “You have to start where you are right now—not where your neighbor is or where you want to be—and then you can build,” says Janet Hamilton, Atlanta-based exercise physiologist and founder of runningstrong.com.

Overdoing it at the beginning can cause too much soreness or injury, and will discourage you. But done the right way, exercise delivers these key benefits: Bone and heart health. In addition to keeping your heart healthy, walking and other load-bearing exercises preserve bone. “The greater the load on the bone, the greater the stimulation for bone growth,” says Hamilton. In addition to walking, running, and jumping movements, other options include ballroom dancing, salsa, Zumba, and step aerobics.

Balance. All types of exercise improve balance and reduce risk of falls. Pilates and yoga are particularly good for balance, flexibility, and strength.

Muscle. It shrinks with age, but the process is reversible with weight or resistance training that challenges all the major muscle groups, three times per week.

“I’ve seen people improve their fitness well into their eighth decade of life,” says Hamilton. “It’s never too late to start.”

Use this quick handbook, organized into three sections, to develop the healthiest exercise routine.

Part 1: How to Begin Exercising To start, Hamilton recommends walking at a comfortable pace. Over time, add

short spurts of walking faster or on an incline. Once you’re comfortably walking 10 miles per week, consider adding short spurts of running.

At home, she says, these are the best resistance exercises: Squats: Stand in front of a chair and squat until your rear end barely touches the seat; then stand up.

Push-Ups: Start by doing them against a wall, then against a sturdy chair back or desk, and gradually progress to floor push-ups.

Part 2: Add Supplements for Energy, Performance, & Weight Loss When it comes to workout supplements, what you take may not be as important as when you take it. Here are our top supplement picks for exercisers, along with a simple timing guide of when to take them.

Before Pre-workout nutrition should focus on sustaining energy, increasing performance, and supporting the body’s ability to build muscle and burn fat.

Supplements (taken about 30 minutes before you work out) may include: Creatine monohydrate increases your supply of ATP, a compound that supplies energy to the body. Several studies have found that creatine increases strength and muscle gain when used in conjunction with an exercise regimen. It’s especially important before performing intense bursts of activity, such as sprinting or heavy lifting.

21 Caffeine has been shown to improve endurance and performance during workouts, reduce muscle pain, and help mobilize fat stores. A recent study also found that caffeine prompted otherwise sedentary people to exercise for longer periods of time. For supplements, use dehydrated caffeine and/or herbal sources such as green tea and guarana extracts.

Taurine is an amino acid that’s known for its ability to promote muscle gain and reduce muscle damage and soreness.

Cordyceps, a medicinal mushroom, can effectively boost endurance, in part by increasing blood flow. Research suggests that supplementing with cordyceps may not only allow you to work out longer, but also boost your overall vigor.

Garcinia cambogia: The major compound of this fat buster is hydroxycitric acid (HCA), which researchers have lauded for its ability to prevent carbs from turning into fat.

Small human studies on Garcinia have found it to be effective for weight loss.

It’s also known to reduce sugar cravings, boost energy, and help the body use stored fat as fuel.

Ribose: A naturally occurring carbohydrate component of DNA and RNA, ribose is an energy turbocharger, explains Jacob Teitelbaum, MD, author of The Fatigue and Fibromyalgia Solution. “A recently published study shows that the nutrient ribose resulted in an average 61% increase in energy in those suffering from even the most severe forms of the human energy crisis, chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia,” he says.

Spirulina, Chlorella, Barley Grass, Wheat Grass, and other Green Foods: Got that sluggish, can’t-get-out-of-bedand-to-the-gym feeling? Try a powdered green foods formula. These “superfoods” are rich in chlorophyll and a variety of nutrients such as B vitamins, calcium, zinc, and magnesium. Green food supplements are an effective way to Continued on page 22

deliver oxygen into your bloodstream. A 2010 study in Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise found that men who took 6 grams of spirulina per day for four weeks were able to run longer in a treadmill test before fatiguing than those on a placebo. They also burned more fat during exercise.

During Hydration is critical, especially during hot weather or extended exercise. Water is best, but well-formulated workout drinks provide energy and replenish electrolytes. Some options: Electrolyte beverages rehydrate the body and replenish chloride, sodium, and potassium lost during sweating.

Additionally, most offer a source of quick carbs to provide energy and offset fatigue.

Energy drinks are ideal for extended periods of exercise such as distance running or biking to improve endurance, provide energy, and assist the body in burning fat stores. Look for those that contain B vitamins, green tea, guarana, ginseng, or ginkgo.

L-carnosine helps reduce lactic acid buildup in the muscles, enhances muscle contraction, and promotes muscle recovery. If you’re doing a long workout—say a triathlon, bike race, or long climb—consider L-carnosine to reduce lactic acid buildup in the muscles.

Health and Wellness Professionals Directory 2014 - 2015 necessary after a strenuous workout to stimulate muscle protein synthesis and inhibit protein breakdown. Try whey protein—it offers a quickly absorbed, easy-to-digest source of amino acids for fast muscle recovery.

BCAAs are absorbed even more quickly than whey protein, since they bypass the liver and go directly to muscles; after workouts, BCAAs inhibit protein breakdown and speed recovery.

Glutamine increases the body’s production of growth hormone, which helps build lean muscles. Glutamine also reduces muscle soreness, speeds recovery, inhibits muscle breakdown, and supports the immune system.

Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) taken after workouts increases lean muscle mass, especially when combined with whey protein; CLA can also be taken before working out, for the same effects.

Part 3: Supercharge with the Right Foods Fuel your body for fitness and replenish protein after a workout with the following tasty recipes.

Apple-Pie-Protein-Pancakes Makes 9

Ultimate Protein Pow(d)er Cookbook by Anna Sward.

1 small apple ½ cup liquid egg whites 1 Tbs. apple fiber (or ground flaxseed) ½ medium-sized sweet potato, cooked (steamed or baked) ¼ cup vanilla whey protein powder (unsweetened) 1 tsp. cinnamon Peel and slice apple thinly. Steam slices over boiling water or in microwave until soft.

Blend egg whites, apple fiber (or flaxseed), cooked sweet potato, and protein powder together with immersion blender, food processor, or regular blender.

Coat nonstick pan with coconut oil, low-calorie cooking spray, or butter, and preheat pan. When pan is hot, begin pouring in batter. (Make sure pan is very hot—you want batter to sizzle when it hits the pan.) Reduce heat to medium, so pancakes cook evenly.

Once bubbles begin to form on pancake surfaces, flip them. Remove pancakes to warm plate, and repeat with remaining batter.

Stack pancakes with apple in between, and sprinkle cinnamon on top. per pancake: 54 cal; 6g pro; 2g total fat (1g sat fat); 4g carb; 3mg chol; 51mg sod; 1g fiber; 2g sugar

After Post-workout nutrition is all about recovery and repair; the fact is, muscle strength and building happen after, not during, workouts. During intense exercise, protein is broken down and glycogen stores are depleted. Here’s what to reach for at the end of your workout: Protein: Immediately after working out, liquid meals such as smoothies are best, to rehydrate the body, quickly replenish glycogen, and decrease protein breakdown. Extra protein is

medium pancakes These protein-packed pancakes have zero sugar—the sweetness comes from the apple and cinnamon.

Healthy Babies Lead to Healthy Communities Submitted by Dr. Risha, Morrison Community Hospital

The youngest members of our community are the most in need of loving care and a healthy start. Science has proven that Mother Nature knew what she was doing when mother’s milk was created. No formula has ever been invented that comes close to the healing benefits of mother’s milk. It’s not easy being a new mom. Formula adds work for busy parents and grandparents. If mom could comfortably latch her infant on for a snack, no one would have to mix powder and water, wash bottles, and waste time worrying if the bottles were cleaned well enough or the water was safe. Mother’s milk comes better than sterile water. What most people do not know is that it affects all of us; not just infants and women bearing children. Without support from family, friends and the larger community, moms are at risk of failing to give their babies and themselves all the benefits that breastfeeding provides. Without healthy moms and babies, we all end up footing the bill for health care costs. An article published in the journal Pediatrics in 2010 estimated that the annual United States cost of sub-optimal breast feeding was $13 billion. The savings could be used for other needs and the community could have healthier members for generations to come if we supported mothers who are nursing their infants.

The benefits of mother’s milk last beyond infancy. Breastfed babies have been shown to not only have less risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) and ear infections when they are young; but additionally they also have lasting reductions in rates of diabetes and obesity. Nursing mothers also reap benefits by providing their babies with nourishment from their own bodies. There women are less at risk for high blood pressure, breast and ovarian cancers, diabetes and heart disease; not to mention the immediate effect of reducing blood loss after delivery and healing to take off the fat that most women collect during pregnancy. Women with healthy immune systems transfer some of their immunity through their milk to their babies. Babies are at most risk in the first few weeks of life when their digestion and immunity are still developing.

After the first few weeks, most moms don’t have the luxury of staying home as they could generations ago. Mothers need reassurance that they can breast feed and go back to work, take care of their home and other family members, take care of themselves and take care of their new baby. That’s where the community comes in. We need to thank nursing moms for their dedication to their infant’s health and offer the encouragement they need.

Illinois State Law supports women in their struggle to nurse their infants. Illinois Breastfeeding Laws include: Breast-feed-

ing is Not Indecency (1995) Breast-feeding of infants is not an act of public indecency. Public Act 92-0068 “Nursing Mothers in the Workplace Act” (2001) An employer shall provide reasonable unpaid break time each day to an employee who needs to express breast milk for her infant child. An employer shall make reasonable efforts to provide a room or other location, in close proximity to the work area, other than a toilet stall, where an employee can express her milk in privacy.

Public Act 093-0942: “The Right to Breastfeed Act” (2004) “The Right to Breastfeed Act” protects a mother’s right to breastfeed her baby in public. A mother may breastfeed in any location, public or private, where the mother is otherwise authorized to be. A woman who has been denied the right to breastfeed by the owner or manager of a public or private location may bring a court action and may be awarded reasonable expenses of litigation. Public Act 094-0391: Jury Act was amended (2006) to include: “any mother nursing her child shall, upon request, be excused from jury service.”

Iowa also has Laws has Laws on breastfeeding. “House File #2350 (1994) pertains to jury duty and excuses a breastfeeding mother from jury duty if she provides the daily care of her child. Senate File #2302 (1999) Breastfeeding in Public Places covers a mother breastfeeding her own child in any public place that she is authorized to be.”

Local resources for families supporting breastfeeding include: WIC, LLL, IAFP, IAAP and Morrison Family Care Clinic.

WIC is a food assistance program for Women, Infants, and Children. It helps pregnant women, new mothers and young children eat well and stay healthy. For more information about WIC, call (815)626-2230. Whiteside County Health Department is located at 1300 W. 2nd St., Rock Falls, IL. Lee County Health Department: 309 S. Galena Avenue, Suite 100, Dixon, IL 61021 (815)284-3371 The misson of La Leche League USA is to help mothers to breastfeed through mother-to mother support, encouragement, information, and education, and to promote a better understanding of breastfeeding as an important element in the healthy development of the baby and mother.

3. Maintain a healthy weight and be physically active Maintaining a healthy weight might lower the risk of various types of cancer, including cancer of the breast, prostate, lung, colon and kidney.

4. Protect yourself from the sun Skin cancer is one of the most common kinds of cancer — and one of the most preventable. Try these tips: Avoid midday sun. Stay out of the sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when the sun’s rays are strongest.

Stay in the shade. When you’re outdoors, stay in the shade as much as possible.

Sunglasses and a broadrimmed hat help, too.

Cover exposed areas. Wear tightly woven, loosefitting clothing that covers as much of your skin as possible. Opt for bright or dark colors, which reflect more ultraviolet radiation than pastels or bleached cotton.

Don’t skimp on sunscreen.

Use generous amounts of sunscreen when you’re outdoors, and reapply often.

Avoid tanning beds and sunlamps. These are just as damaging as natural sunlight.

Take cancer prevention into your own hands, starting today. The rewards will last a lifetime.

Bike Helmet Use Could Prevent 45,000 Head Injuries to Kids www.wakemed.org Safe Kids Wake County offers bike safety tips to celebrate May’s National Bike Month Raleigh, NC (May 6, 2011) - Spring has arrived and families are gearing up to enjoy the outdoors on their bikes.

While inflating the tires and checking the brakes are important – a helmet is essential. Safe Kids Wake County urges parents, caregivers, and children to use their helmet each time they ride their bike – no matter how long or short the distance traveled.

Each year, approximately 135 children die from bicycle-related injuries and more than 267,000 nonfatal bicycle injuries occur. Helmets can reduce the risk of severe brain injuries by 88 percent; however, only 15 to 25 percent of children 14 and under usually wear a bicycle helmet. In Raleigh, children under age 16 are required by law to wear a helmet while riding a bicycle.

“A bike helmet is essential safety gear,” says Angie Bullock, WakeMed Health & Hospitals trauma manager and Safe Kids Wake County coalition coordinator.

“Helmets could prevent an estimated 75 percent of fatal head injuries and up to 45,000 head injuries to children who ride bikes each year.”

Sometimes children mistakenly believe

Health and Wellness Professionals Directory 2014 - 2015 that they don’t need to wear helmets when they’re riding near home. Unfortunately, about 53 percent of vehiclerelated bike deaths to children happen on minor roads and residential streets.

“Teach kids to obey traffic signs and the rules of the road. Kids should not ride without supervision until they have demonstrated that they always follow the rules,” says Ms. Bullock.

A helmet should also be labeled to indicate that it meets the standards set by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. “As long as it’s certified, let kids pick out their helmets” Ms. Bullock says.

“If they think a helmet looks cool, they’ll be more likely to wear it when you’re not around.”

Safe Kids Wake County also reminds parents and caregivers to: Make sure the helmet fits and your kids know how to put it on correctly. A helmet should sit on top of the head in a level position, and should not rock forward and backward or side to side. The helmet straps must always be buckled, but not too tightly. Safe Kids recommends the “Eyes, Ears and Mouth” test: s EYES: Position the helmet on your head. Look up and you should see the bottom rim of the helmet. The rim should be one to two finger-widths above the eyebrows. s EARS: Make sure the straps of the helmet form a “V” under your ears when buckled. The strap should be snug but comfortable. s MOUTH: Open your mouth as wide as you can. Do you feel the helmet hug your head? If not, tighten those straps and make sure the buckle is flat against your skin.

Make sure the bike is the right size for the child. There should be about 1-inch of clearance between the bike frame and the child’s groin when the child’s feet are flat on the ground. Also, make sure the bike is in good repair — reflectors are secure, brakes work properly, gears shift smoothly, and tires are tightly secured and properly inflated.

Remember, bike helmets are for biking.

Kids should not wear bike helmets on the playground (where the straps can get

caught on equipment and cause injury) or for activities that require specialized helmets (such as skiing or football).

Model and teach proper bicyclist behavior. Ride on the right side of the road, with traffic, not against it. Stay as far to the right as possible. Use appropriate hand signals and respect traffic signals, stopping at all stop signs and stop lights.

When in doubt, get help. The sales staff at any bicycle shop or outdoor recreation store should be able to provide expert advice on fitting and adjusting bikes and helmets.

The single most effective safety device available to reduce head injury and death from bicycle crashes is a helmet.

For more information about bicycle safety, visit www.safekids.org. National Bike Month has been coordinated annually since 1956 by the League of American Bicyclists; for more information, visit www.bikeleague.org.

Safe Kids Wake County works to prevent unintentional childhood injury, the leading cause of death and disability to children ages 1 to 14. Safe Kids Wake County is a member of Safe Kids Worldwide, a global network of organizations dedicated to preventing unintentional injury. Safe Kids Wake County was founded in 1996 and is led by WakeMed Health & Hospitals.
