Multimodal Factors Affect Longitudinal Changes in Dynamic Balance in Community-Dwelling Older Adults
Dynamic balance fluctuated over time and was influenced by multimodal factors, namely MVPA and FRA, which captured the interplay between static balance and FoF. Fall history did not directly predict dynamic balance but played a role in FRA, implicating the subjective effects of fall history. These findings demonstrate how physical activity, FRA, and their interactions can predict changes in dynamic balance. Future work can utilize the results to evaluate low-cost interventions for community-dwelling older adults.
