- Factors Associated with Unassisted and Injurious Falls: A research study published in BMC Geriatrics by the UNMC CAPTURE Falls team reports factors associated with unassisted and injurious falls, supports the idea that assisted falls are more desirable than unassisted falls, and promotes the use of gait belts to assist patient mobility.
- Gait Belt FAQs: The Gait Belt FAQs segment on page 60 of the How-to-Guide: Reducing Patient Injuries from Falls Toolkit from the Institute for Healthcare Improvement explains the rationale for gait belt use and how to use one to assist patients.
