Physical Function and Fatigue in Community-Dwelling Older Adults with High Fall Risk

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This study aimed to assess physical function and fatigue levels in older adults at high risk of falling. It also investigated the correlation between physical function and fatigue with other factors such as anxiety, depression, and sleep disturbance. The study included 25 participants identified as having high fall risk. Results showed a positive correlation between physical function and age and the Dynamic Gait Index, while fatigue was positively correlated with anxiety, depression, and sleep disturbance. The study emphasizes the importance of considering various factors when assessing falls in older adults and suggests the need for further research in other geriatric syndromes.
