Abstract
The results support the viability of using unimodal verbal cueing to reduce fall risk by increasing proactive handrail use. Conversely, they do not strongly support use of visual cueing (either alone or in combination with verbal cueing) and suggest that it may even have adverse effects. Further study is needed to evaluate effects of handrail cueing in a wide range of populations and real-life settings.
