Abstract

Decline in DTA performance, particularly the time to complete the DTA, may be associated with recurrent falling in older adults. Time to complete the DTA is a feasible screening tool for outpatient use. Currently, protocol variations limit generalizability, warranting standardization of methods and further validation for clinical adoption.
