Abstract:
The study investigated the impact of a two-dimensional animation program on attitudes towards walking aids, performance, and fall avoidance behaviors among older adults in assisted living facilities. A quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group study was conducted on 128 older adults aged 60 years and above. The intervention group showed more favorable attitudes towards walking aids, improved cane and walker use, and reduced fall concerns. The 2D animation program proved to be an innovative teaching strategy that positively influenced attitudes, performance, and fall-related concerns among elderly residents. Integration into care settings could enhance mobility, reduce fall risks, and contribute to overall well-being.
