First seen Nov 17, 2025 · Last updated Jun 10, 2026 · Updated 24 times

Summary

This study tested whether wearing non-slip socks helps older hospital patients walk better. The researchers planned to include people aged 75 and older who needed physical therapy and had poor footwear. However, only one person joined the study, so it was stopped early. No clear conclusions can be drawn.
