| Abstract | BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Approximately 24% of adults over 65 have reported using an assistive device (AD), and this number is expected to rise in the next 25 years. Although ADs are used to improve balance and increase independence, the impact of ADs on gait characteristics needs further exploration. The purpose of this study was to compare the impact of different ADs on gait characteristics in non-AD dependent, community-dwelling older adults. |
