Impact of strength and balance on functional gait assessment performance in older adults
Karabin MJ, Sparto PJ, Rosano C, Redfern MS; Impact of strength and balance on functional gait assessment performance in older adults; Gait & Posture, vol. 91, pp. 306-311, 2022.
Abstract
Background: The Functional Gait Assessment (FGA) evaluates postural stability in gait and predicts fall risk in older adults. Individual tasks within the FGA consider aspects of mobility assumed to require strength and/or balance to complete. Identifying how quantitative measures of strength and balance relate to FGA performance would allow for more targeted interventions based on one’s pattern of performance on different tasks.
