Abstract

Date Presented 4/8/2016

This study evaluated a new mobile application’s ability to predict fall risk in older adults. Senior SWAY was significantly associated with patient-reported previous falls and the Timed Up and Go. This application could potentially ease identification of older adults at risk of falling.
