Predictors of concern about falling among adults who use wheelchairs and/or motorized mobility scooters full-time: a cross-sectional study

This study's findings suggest that the influences of CaF among people who use WC/S are multifactorial. Awareness of these predictors can help researchers and clinicians develop screenings to better identify people who use WC/S with high levels of CaF and develop treatment plans to effectively manage CaF.
