Translation and Psychometric Testing of the Fear of Falling Questionnaire-Revised in Community-Dwelling Older Adults
The Swedish version of the 6-item FFQ-R demonstrates acceptable psychometric properties. Moreover, the six items align with the two factors, DT and HO. Based on these findings, we recommend using the Short FFQ-R(S) (6-item) to assess FoF in primary fall prevention efforts for community-dwelling older adults.
