A new measure of fear of falling: psychometric properties of the fear of falling questionnaire revised (FFQ-R) [PDF]

, 2014
BACKGROUND: Although fear of falling is prevalent among older adults recovering from hip fracture, current instruments are inadequate due to focus on specific situations and measurement of self-efficacy rather than fear.
