Walking in wet pads: the influence on gait on walking in a soaked continence containment product in older women

Walking | Fall | Incontinence

Women with accidental loss of urine (incontinence) are at an increased risk of falling compared to continent women. While we know some of the reasons for this, we don't know if walking with a wet pad on increases this risk. This study, using wearable walking monitors will attempt to se if walking patterns change when wearing either a wet or dry pad, compared to normal walking
