Use of the walking and turning test to accurately discriminate between independently ambulatory community-dwelling older Thai adults with and without a history of falls: a retrospective diagnostic study

The study suggests the clinical usefulness of the WTT in determining falls in older individuals. WTT is a physical ability measurement that indicates balance ability and muscle strength. The test is practical, requires little space and equipment and can be used in large populations.
