My mother has trouble walking, but she refuses to get a walker or cane. I worry about her. How can I convince her to get some sort of walking aid?

Tell her about risk of fractures in women after 50 , when bones get hollow due to less calcium and vitamins. Healing is delayed too compared to a young and growing up child. May be risk if explained well to her will help her get walker /cane.
