Can a simple walking test predict falls in seniors?

This study examines whether the Groningen Meander Walking Test, a walking test that involves stepping along a curved path, is a reliable and valid way to measure balance and fall risk in older adults. Researchers will recruit 70 people aged 65 and older who have self-reported balance issues or have fallen in the past year. Participants will perform the walking test multiple times to see if results are consistent, and the test's accuracy will be compared to other established balance assessments.
