NOTE

Improving Adherence to Mobility Aids

Physiotherapists are crucial in prescribing mobility aids that enable patients to mobilize safely and independently. Proper usage of walking aids can lead to earlier hospital discharge, increased independence, reduced fall risks, and improved participation in exercise interventions. However, patients often do not adhere to the prescribed use of walking aids, leading to challenges in monitoring adherence. Understanding and addressing patients' barriers and perceptions towards using mobility aids is key in improving adherence. Physiotherapists can play a significant role in educating patients about the importance of mobility aids and implementing strategies to enhance adherence.
