Community Dwelling Adults: A Systematic Review of The Literature. Australia

This document contains summaries of multiple studies on balance and fall risk assessments for elderly populations. It discusses several assessment tools and scales that have been developed and validated for measuring balance and fall risk, including the Berg Balance Scale, Activities-specific Balance Confidence Scale, and Timed Up and Go test. The studies evaluated the reliability and validity of these tools for predicting falls and comparing balance abilities in elderly adults.
