The Falls Efficacy Scale International is a valid measure to assess the concern about falling and its changes induced by treatments

Being differential item functioning-free for treatment, these measures can be safely used to compare concern about falling before and after rehabilitation, such as when interested in assessing the rehabilitation effectiveness.PMID:34821159 | DOI:10.1177/02692155211062110
