The Problem
Falls remain a pressing health issue in both community and healthcare system, and this challenge is only increasing with Australia's growing and aging population. In fact, the proportion of individuals aged over 65 is projected to increase substantially, from 16% to 25% by 2050.
What are the stats?
Did you know that 30% of adults over the age of 65 experience at least one fall per year within the community? Moreover, clinical research demonstrates that severe injuries such as pelvic fractures resulting from falls in adults over 65 years, have a mortality rate of 41% after 3 years.
What role do walking aids play?
Walking aids are essential for preventing falls and allowing members of the community, who would not otherwise be able walk, to do so safely. However, walking aids are rendered useless if their aid is inaccessible of not used in the manor intended.

- Increased mobility aid adherence and accessibility
- 95% preferential over standard walking aids.
