Predictive Accuracy of the 3-m Backward Walk Test for Fall Risk in Older Adults
Falls are a leading cause of injury in older adults, and accurate tools to predict fall risk are essential. This study evaluates the predictive accuracy of the 3-m Backward Walk Test (3 MBWT) for fall risk, comparing it with the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB), 10-m walk test (10 MWT), and fall-r...

Association Between Multidimensional Frailty and Postoperative Outcomes in Older Patients With Hip Fracture: A Scoping Review
Hip fractures represent a common injury resulting from falls among older adults, significantly impairing their mobility and independence in daily activities, and substantially increasing mortality risk. Recent research has demonstrated that frailty is closely associated with postoperative adverse outcomes ...
