Abstract

We have developed a new type 4-wheel walker with 2 fore sleds to evaluate its effect to prevent the depression of body function after the femoral neck fracture and other disease. The rate of getting bedridden patients after femoral neck fracture has been reported so high in Japan. Actually one research has reported the rate over 20%(l).
