Personal Mobility Scooters: Health differences between mobility scooter users and the unaided pedestrian.

摘要

This paper presents some initial findings from a PhD project, investigating whether rising mobility scooter usage corresponds with declines in walking levels, cognitive functioning and physical health. Using English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA) data some analysis has been carried out. This data provides a useful snapshot of the mobility scooter using population.
