Walking Aids After ED

An 82-year-old adult is being discharged from a geriatric emergency department and has at least one indication for a walking aid according to the local protocol. The team is considering whether physiotherapist assessment, training, and provision of a walking aid would be supported by randomized trial evidence.

What does the evidence in this abstract support for older adults discharged from a geriatric ED with an indication for walking aids?
