第六章 結論與建議
第三節 研究限制
針對本研究在設計之時有未臻完善之處，就下列幾個方向進行檢討，並供未 來相關研究作為參考。
一、樣本外推的限制
由於本研究只針對新竹縣之步行輔具使用者做調查，解釋力無法擴及其他地 區。
二、研究問卷的設計
本研究第一部分的資料收集工具為自我設計之問卷，其中部分問題之設計由 於用詞上不周全，故解釋力不足，無法做過多的推論。例如在長輩使用輔具的時 間或頻率，但該問題只概略詢問使用者自覺的使用頻率，目前問法無法呈現「輔 具使用量」，即每天大約有多少時間會用到輔具，所以在推論上會有所限制；同 樣，在收集使用者的跌倒資訊時，只有問到使用後的跌倒情形，沒有問使用前的，
如此無法推論輔具對「降低跌倒頻率」有沒有幫助。
三、功能性表現測試
本研究中所採用的六分鐘行走測試項目，受試者在測試過程中因為同時使用 步行輔具，所以其測試結果無法單純代表受試者的步行能力，會同時受到所使用 的輔具種類干擾，日後相關研究可考慮其他更適合的測試方式。
