One-leg standing test in older adults with left-right differences; does dominant foot distinctly decide?
As motor function declines with age, OLST performance decreases, and there was a group in which the left-right difference becomes more noticeable. However, no consistent pattern was found in the magnitude of this difference. Notably, when the decline begins, the leg that takes longer to stand may shift to the other side.
