Author: Axtel, L. A., Yasuda, Y. L.
Year: 1993

Abstract:

Many older adults have difficulty with functional activities and do not recognize that help is available to them. Many assistive devices and home modifications exist that promote greater independence and safety for older individuals in the areas of mobility, self-care, and home management. Many factors must be considered in selecting an assistive device for an individual in order to meet the unique needs of that person.
