- W2992203479 abstract "Walking aids are often prescribed to reduce the risk of falling. In Canada, approximately 1,125,000 community-dwelling individuals who were 15 years old or older used walking aids in 2011, representing 4.1% of the Canadian population. The users of walking aids (including walkers, canes, walking sticks, and crutches) had a mean age of 68 years and were predominantly female. Of these individuals, 465,340 used a walker. The walkers include the standard four footed pick-up frames without wheels, which are also referred to as fixed frames, wheeled frames which are the fixed-frames with front wheels, and rollators. Rollators are walkers with three or four wheels, the front wheels of which can swivel for steering. The Canadian prevalence of walking aid use increase use by 2% since 2004, which is likely related to the aging of the population. Among older adults 65 years or older in Canada, falling is the leading cause of injuries. The direct health care costs of falling is approximately $2 billion annually in Canada. The objective of this report is to evaluate the comparative clinical effectiveness of walkers with wheels versus walkers without wheels for fall prevention in older adults." @default.
