Walkers with wheels versus walkers without wheels for fall prevention in older adults a review of the comparative clinical effectiveness

One systematic review was identified regarding the comparative effectiveness of walkers with wheels versus walkers without wheels for fall prevention in older adults. Evidence of limited quality from the systematic review suggested that older patients walking with a nonwheeled frame would cover shor...
