Аннотация
INTRODUCTION: Falls among hospitalized frail elderly patients are a worrying, major daily phenomenon.
CONTEXT: Inadequate footwear, frequently observed in this population, is one of the main risk factors behind falls. Several hospitals use non-slip socks as a preventive measure. However, in the context of evidence-based medicine, it is important to verify the existence of strong evidence for their effectiveness.
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to determine the preventive effectiveness of non-slip socks.
METHOD: Five databases were investigated (PubMed, PEDro, Cochrane, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar). Eligibility criteria were established (using the PICO method), for studies including elderly hospitalized patients.
RESULTS: Seven studies were included. Non-slip socks showed a preventive effect in reducing the recurrence of falls (p=0.009) and the prevalence of falls related to urinary incontinence.
DISCUSSION: Several studies conclude on the added value of non-slip socks compared to traditional socks or slippers. The limitations inherent in the selected studies are taken into account when drawing conclusions.
CONCLUSION: Footwear that is considered safe by therapists and secure by the patient is currently the most recommended option. However, more clinical studies are needed to support our findings.
