Summary

The first phase of the study aims to study the incidence of near-falls. The second phase will be to develop a scale which operationalize balance recovery confidence in the older adults. This study will determine the incidence of near-falls in a sample of community-dwelling older adults and will develop the Balance Recovery Falls-Efficacy scale (BRFES) for the community-dwelling older adults using the COSMIN method. This scale will be used to measure the confidence level of the community-dwelling older adults in their ability to execute balance recovery maneuvers in common, everyday functional activities to prevent a fall.

  • Accidental Fall
  • Aging
  • Self Efficacy

Developing the list of items for BRFES

The finalized list of items will be discussed by two researchers who will combine similar items generated by the two focus groups to complete the Balance Recovery Falls-Efficacy Scale. The list of items has been developed by a group of community-dwelling older adults who had demonstrated an understanding of near-falls and will be able to articulate the use of balance recovery strategies used in near-fall experiences.
