Walking Aid and Locomotion Knowledge in Emergency Rooms (WALKER 1) for Elderly People

A physiotherapist will identify the mobility needs and will indicate the most appropriate walking aid (cane or walker).

Telemonitoring will occur every two weeks for three months after the emergency department discharge, through video call (about 15 minutes). On these opportunities, the importance of using mobile devices and the guidance on safe gait will be reinforced.

Participants will receive verbal guidance and printed material with guidance on safe walking and fall prevention.
