- Prevalence and correlates of fear of falling, and associated avoidance of activity in the general population of community-living older people. (2007, neutral): “The one-item fear of falling question, however, has been found to correlate significantly with the Falls Efficacy Scale International [26], a 16-item measure that assesses one’s concern regarding falls in both easy and more complex physical and social activities [27].”
- The Short FES-I: a shortened version of the falls efficacy scale-international to assess fear of falling. (2007, methodology): “Although the FES has been shown to be reliable and valid, several commentators have suggested that the FES could be improved as a measure of fear of falling [17].”
- World guidelines for falls prevention and management for older adults: a global initiative (2022, neutral): “It is ‘less intense and emotional (and therefore may be more socially acceptable for older adults to disclose)’ [90], while fear has ‘psychiatric connotations implying analogy to phobias which may or may not be accurate’ [91].”
- The Falls Efficacy Scale International (FES-I). A comprehensive longitudinal validation study. (2010, methodology): “The aim of this study was to address limitations of the initial validation study [7] and to provide evidence for the predictive validity of the FES-I.”
- Fear of falling: measurement strategy, prevalence, risk factors and consequences among older persons. (2008, background): “activities, and it has been translated and validated in different languages [14].”
