| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship of knee pain and cognitive impairments to fall in community dwelling older people. Our results suggested that knee pain was common and independently associated with fall after adjusting for age, walking speed, and physical activity in frail older adults. In even healthy old people, there were destabilizing effects on walking when cognitive task such as an arithmetic task or the Stroop task was simultaneously added. These results suggest that knee pain and cognitive impairments are risk factors of fall.
