Making the most of mobility aids: From maximizing function to reducing fall risk
In 81% of falls, a mobility aid is present. In this session, we’ll be discussing walkers, wheelchairs, and canes and all the details you need to use them safely, reducing fall risk. We’ll cover the proper use of each mobility aid, as well as the different types within each category, various attachments and accessories, and how to choose the right mobility aid for the right resident to maximize comfort, function, and safety. We’ll also review case studies, and our fall experts will take your questions. We look forward to having you join us on October 20 for this informative and critical discussion.
