Abstract

Abstract

This study describes a journey study regarding parents using various types of tools to help walk especially canes that last in the range of 50 years time. A systematic study was conducted with an interesting document study from Scopus to see the dynamics and trends of ongoing research take place. Withdrawal document conducted with method enter keywords related to canes, elderly, assistive technology. Study data through graphics describe trend-growing research from 1973 to 2022. Based on the amount of published journal in the period time between 1973 and 2022 shows Journal of Aging and Mental Health occupy the position top in amount issue then followed by the journal International Psychogeriatrics and the journal Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. In contrast, a big amount of citations obtained shows the Journal Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation's most popular study followed by the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society and the British Journal of Psychiatry. Research studies in this area show a trend increase from 1973 to 2022 where in 2015 it reached the amount publications highest while in 2016 to 2021 experienced a little decline.  Based on the study results study in a period time for 50 years could estimate the gap research that can take to get novelty research in a set plan study in the future.
