Principal Component Analysis to Examine Fall-predictive Screening Tests for use during Locomotive Health Checkups
We propose that during a locomotive health checkup, mobility function, muscle function, and spinal alignment are important components for the assessment of locomotive dysfunction. Notably, the five-question Geriatric Locomotive Function Scale is a simple and convenient screening test that can predict the future incidence falls.
