• Development and initial validation of the Falls Efficacy Scale-International (FES-I). (2005, background): “Fear of falling can lead to distress and reduced quality of life, increased medication use and activity restriction, further decline in physical functioning, greater falling risk, and admission to institutional care [3, 6, 8–14].”
• SisFall: A Fall and Movement Dataset (2017, background): “A third of the people over 65 years old suffer on average one fall per year [1], and this number grows with age [2] and previous falls, where about one third develop fear of falling again [3,4].”
• The Falls Efficacy Scale International (FES-I). A comprehensive longitudinal validation study. (2010, background): “This is in line with previous findings suggesting that fear of falling might lead to physical frailty [23, 28] and as a consequence increases the risk of suffering future falls [22].”
