dc.description.abstract | The fear of falling is a common psychological consequence of falling, especially for elderly individuals. Fear of falling can lead to activity restriction and medical problems. The primary purpose of this study was to examine the correlation between fall efficacy and physical fitness factors in elderly women. We assessed physical fitness factors and investigated the Korean version of the Fall Efficacy Scale-International (KFES-I) in 173 participants. We investigated the correlation between physical fitness factors and fall efficacy. When the subjects were divided into four groups according to physical fitness level, subjects with high 6-m walk, 30-s chair stand test, 30-s arm curl test, chair sit and reach test, 8-foot up and go test scores and high grip strength had low fall efficacy. Physical fitness factors were strongly associated with decreased fall fear, suggesting that physical fitness improvements play an important role in preventing or reducing the fear of falling. | - |
