The Effect of Bedrails on Falls and Injury: a Systematic Review of Clinical Studies

Healy, F.; Oliver, D.; Milne, A.; Conelly, J. B.: The Effect of Bedrails on Falls and Injury: a Systematic Review of Clinical Studies. I: Age and Ageing, 2008(37(4)), s. 368-378.Language: Engelsk

Summary: The objective of this study is to summarise and critically evaluate evidence on the effect of bedrails on falls and injury. It is difficult to perform conventional clinical trials of an intervention already embedded in practice, and all included studies had methodological limitations. However, this review concludes that serious direct injury from bedrails is usually related to use of outmoded designs and incorrect assembly rather than being inherent, and bedrails do not appear to increase the risk of falls or injury from falls.
