Introduction The one-legged balance test is widely used as a fall risk screening tool in both
clinical and research settings. Despite rising fall prevalence in midlife, there is little evidence …

Objective The aim of this systematic review was to synthesise all published evidence on
associations between one-legged balance performance and falls. Methods Medline …

Introduction: Despite its associations with falls, disability, and mortality, balance is an under-
recognized and frequently overlooked aspect of aging. Studies investigating associations …

BACKGROUND Balance ability underlies most physical movement across life, with
particular importance for older adults. No study has investigated if balance ability is …

Background and Objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine whether easily
measurable measures for balance and muscle strength predicted recurrent falling as well as …

Background: a fall occurs when an individual experiences a loss of balance from which they
are unable to recover. Assessment of balance recovery ability in older adults may therefore …

Several studies have quantified and compared balance recovery between healthy younger
and older adults, using a variety of large postural perturbations and loss of balance …

Background Screening should have simple and easy-to-administer methods that identify
impairments associated with future fall risk, but there is a lack of literature supporting …

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate and summarize the evidence linking balance impairment as a
risk factor for falls in community-dwelling older adults. STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING …

Objective: This study examined alignment of subjective balance confidence with Stopping
Elderly Accidents, Deaths and Injuries (STEADI) fall risk. Methods: Cross-sectional analysis …
