Dual‐task gait test provides limited additional value for fall prediction in care‐requiring older adults: A prospective study
Only the dual-task gait test significantly predicted falls in this population, but there was no difference in its predictive ability compared to the single-task gait test. Additional studies are needed to strengthen the clinical validity of the dual-task gait test. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2025; 25: 663-669.
