Tandem stance test time was positively correlated with stride length, gait speed, peak angle velocity, and maximal heel clearance during the gait cycle. Correlation between tandem stance time and number of falls was weak but significant (ρ=-0.31, P=.01), and FROP-Com score for falls risk was negative and moderate for nonpreferred foot behind (ρ=-0.58, P<.01). The 10-second tandem stance with nonpreferred foot behind was associated with falling in previous 12 months (P=.04). Walking aid use history in subgroups with the individuals who cannot maintain the tandem stance with nonpreferred foot behind for 10 seconds was associated with falling in previous 12 months (OR, 55.00; 95% CI, 2.44-1238.46; P=.01). Conclusions: The 10-second tandem stance test was associated with professionally prescribed walking aids, gait parameters with prescribed walking aids, falls, and walking aid use history, indicating the test may be useful to guide the prescription of walking aids.]]> Fri 15 Sep 2023 17:53:28 AEST ]]> Impact of a new post-operative care model in a rural hospital after total hip replacement and total knee replacement https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:45725 Fri 04 Nov 2022 09:44:56 AEDT ]]>
