Summary

The fall rate is increased parallel to the aging process. The early determination and management of falls in older adults are quite crucial to preserve the independence of older adults. In the literature, there are used many measurement tools for predicting fall status. The discriminative ability of these measures is important for the accuracy of the assessment. In this study, four of the most commonly used balance measurement tools will be investigated in terms of the discriminative ability for fall status in the Turkish community-dwelling older adults.
