Is There an Association Between Self-Reported Dual-Task Performance and Fear of Falling in Older Adults?

CONCLUSIONS: Our study reveals a moderate positive association between fear of falling and self-reported dual-task performance in older adults. A direct relationship between physical activity performance, fear of falling, and self-reported dual-task performance was observed among older adults. Significance/Implications: Integrating self-reported measures like the DTQ in clinical evaluations can provide valuable insights into dual-task abilities of older adults.PMID:38262398 | DOI:10.1123/japa.2023-0267
