RHINO PROJECT
June 2004
A 12 months hip protector study carried out in the UK between July 2003 and June 2004. This study confirms the superiority of soft HipSavers over the hard shell protectors. The final report of this project is now available
JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN MEDICAL DIRECTORS ASSN.
October 2003
The results of a 13 month long study were published in the Sept/Oct. 2003 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Directors Association. HipSavers were written into the care plan of 38 at-risk residents. The study authors report an average 93% compliance rate for the duration of the study. Equally important, there were 126 falls among the HipSaver wearers and no hip fractures. The results are very significant since compliance is a major ingredient in the success of any hip protector program. Previous studies on hard-shell hip protectors have reported much lower compliance rates.
Products endorsed by the APA are put through a robust and rigorous process of assessment and peer review before being endorsed. The fact that the APA has endorsed HipSaver means that you can rest assured that you are buying a safe, effective, professionally-credible, high quality product.
