在日常生活中，运动通常发生在复杂的情况下，认知注意力集中在其他任务上。Lundin-Olsson等人[5]报道了一种基于受试者的双任务（DT）表现来预测福尔斯的新方法。近年来，许多研究评估了老年人的DT行走。然而，Beauchet et al. [6]报告称，由于DT范式缺乏标准化，无法根据DT结果从福尔斯预测中得出可靠的结论。我们认为，使用DT方案的先前研究的两个主要局限性[7-12]是：（i）对次要任务的性能评价不足和（ii）DT方案缺乏标准化。本研究的目的是评估使用智能手机为基础的应用程序评估双任务能力作为一种工具，用于预测福尔斯的风险，在社区居住的老年人口。
In every-day life, locomotion typically occurs under complicated circumstances with cognitive attention focused on other tasks. Lundin-Olsson et al.[5] reported a novel method for predicting falls based on the dual-task (DT) performance of subjects. In recent years, numerous studies have evaluated DT walking in elderly people. However, Beauchet et al.[6] reported that reliable conclusions cannot be drawn from the prediction of falls based on DT results due to the lack of standardisation in DT paradigms. We considered that the two main limitations of the previous research using DT protocols [7–12] were:(i) insufficient evaluation of the performance of the secondary task and (ii) the lack of standardisation of the DT protocols. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the use of a Smartphone-based application for assessing dual-tasking ability as a tool for predicting the risk of falls in a community-dwelling elderly population.
