Abstract

A multidimensional battery of PT outcome measures effectively differentiates fallers from non-fallers and characterizes the neuromotor frailty phenotype in older adults with KOA. These measures demonstrate strong discriminative performance for fall status and provide clinically relevant indicators of fall risk as a multidimensional construct.
