Researchers want to validate a new algorithm—a mathematical tool—that can predict which older adults are most likely to fall. You would complete two short questionnaires about mood and confidence, plus seven physical tests (like standing on one leg, walking, and balance exercises). This helps doctors understand which older people need extra support to stay safe.
Falls are a major cause of injury in older adults, and being able to identify who is at highest risk could help doctors and families prevent accidents before they happen.

You would visit the research site once to complete the study. During your visit, you'll answer two brief questionnaires about your mood and confidence with balance, then perform seven physical tests that assess your strength, balance, and walking ability. The whole visit typically takes about 1–2 hours, and there is no medication involved—just physical assessments.
