Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Fall risk assessment tools: the performance oriented mobility assessment (POMA) from Tinetti and the Berg Balance Test Fear of falling (FOF) will be assessed with the falls efficacy scale from Tinetti and the Activities-specific Balance Confidence (ABC) scale.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Functional tests: static balance (timed tandem stance), functional reach, timed 1-leg stance, timed-up-and-go test and the stop-walking-when-talking test will be performed. Muscle strength of the knee flexors and extensors and ankle dorsal flexors and plantar flexors will be assessed using the Biodex 3 dynanometer. Dynamic postural control will be assessed using the Biodex Balance system, which is a system to measure dynamic balance. This system evaluated neuromuscular control by quantifying the ability to maintain dynamic posture.	—
