The psychometric properties of the Four Square Step Test in older adults with mild cognitive impairment.
Geriatr Nurs
December 2024
University of Health Sciences, Gulhane Faculty of Health Sciences, Department of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation, Ankara, Türkiye. Electronic address:
Purpose: The study aimed to determine the test-retest, interrater, and minimum detectable change, concurrent and known-groups validity in older adults with mild cognitive impairment. Minimal detectable change values are the degree of change needed to exceed a measurement's error within a confidence limit.
Methods: A total of 46 older adults with mild cognitive impairment and 34 healthy controls were included.
Falls in Persons with Cognitive Impairment-Incidence and Characteristics of the Fallers.
Geriatrics (Basel)
December 2024
The Norwegian National Center for Aging and Health, Vestfold Hospital Trust, N-3103 Tønsberg, Norway.
The annual incidence of falls is high in older adults with impaired cognitive function and dementia, and injuries have a detrimental effect on disability-adjusted life-years and public health spending. In this registry-based study, fall incidence and characteristics of the fallers were explored in a large population with cognitive impairment. : NorCog, "The Norwegian Registry of Persons Assessed for Cognitive Symptoms", is a national research and quality registry with a biomaterial collection.

Introduction: Fatigue and gait speed are established determinants of fall risk in patients with neurological disorders. However, data on adults with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is limited. The aim of this pilot study was to investigate falls and risk factors in adults with SMA.

While the value of walking gait metrics collected using pressure-sensing walkways has shown promise for fall risk assessment, there is no consensus on the minimum number of strides required to obtain reliable metrics. This study aimed to determine the minimum stride count required for reliable single-task (ST), dual-task (DT), and difference score (DS) measurements of the spatio-temporal parameters of gait in older adult fallers and non-fallers. Forty community-dwelling older adults (74.

Department of Physiotherapy, Faculty of Allied Medical Sciences, Philadelphia University, Amman, Jordan.
Background: Many independent studies have investigated the role of normalized maximal voluntary isometric strength (MVIS) of lower limb muscle groups (MVISLLMG) by body weight and summed knee and ankle muscle strength in predicting the risk of falling among older persons. However, it is unknown which MVISLLMG is better at predicting the fall risk.
Objective: This study aimed to compare different MVISLLMG in predicting fall-risk among older persons against the reference standard (history of falls).
