| Popis: | Objective: This scoping review aims to outline the extent of methodological variability in studies investigating the ability of dual-task gait assessment to predict falls in community-dwelling older adults. The review will also critically appraise included studies to inform future research. Introduction: The dual-task paradigm – completing a task while walking – has shown promise in its ability to predict falls in older adults. However, different types of task have been studied with no consensus on which task type or method is optimal. Systematic reviews on the topic have concluded that the quality of research in this area also needs to be improved. Inclusion criteria: Studies which investigate the relationship between dual-task gait assessment and falls, have any experimental or quasi-experimental design, and have sufficient methodological detail will be included. Studies where all participants are |
