Falls in Old Age

There is a need for studies that examine the role of dual-task cost in predicting fall risk among older adults receiving institutional care and that develop classification models that can be used in clinical practice. The planned study aims to determine the discriminative ability of dual-task cost in identifying fall risk and to establish clinically meaningful cutoff values. In this respect, the study will both contribute to a more sensitive assessment of fall risk and provide a scientific basis for a low-cost, practical, and applicable screening approach.
