Gait abnormalities and longitudinal fall risk in older patients with end-stage kidney disease and sarcopenia
Our study demonstrated the utility of triaxial accelerometers in extracting gait characteristics in older HD patients. High-risk sarcopenia (SARC-F ≥ 4) was associated with various gait abnormalities, some of which partially improved after HD sessions. These gait abnormalities were predictive of future falls, highlighting their prognostic significance.
