Background Fear of falling and previous falls are both risk factors that affect daily activities of
older adults. However, it remains unclear whether they independently limit daily activities …

Background Evidence suggests that there are several fall predictors in the elderly
population, including previous fall history and balance impairment. To date, however, the …
