Falls Prevention

To assist patients with mobility difficulties, the National Falls Guidelines recommends the use of non slip footwear as part of a multi-factorial falls prevention strategy.

Why Gripperz should be used as part of a multi-factorial falls prevention plan:

  • A study conducted by Eastern Health using Gripperz Non Slip Anklet socks saw a 100% reduction of falls during the trial period

  • The use of well-fitted, non slip footwear is recommended by the Australian Commission on Safety & Quality in Healthcare, the Government of WA Department of Health, the Clinical Excellence Commission NSW and the Royal Children's Hospital Melbourne

  • Wearing non slip socks gives patients, their families and carers greater peace of mind
