In this study, researchers want to know if older people, who live in the community, will wear and find comfortable two different types of hip protector airbags. Traditional hip protectors are pads that protect the hip bone during a fall, but they aren't very popular because they're uncomfortable. Now, new hip protectors use airbag technology to be more comfortable and wearable. Even though these airbags are sold in stores, there hasn't been much research on whether people will actually wear them, especially those living at home. This study will ask older people to try these airbags and give feedback on them.
- The study is for people aged 65 and older who have fallen and needed medical help.
- Participants must be able to put on and take off the hip airbags by themselves.
- This study will help see if these devices can be used in bigger trials to prevent hip fractures.
