Associations of Indoor Fall Rates and Postural Control Parameters. Rate ratios denoting the strength and the direction of the association between biomechanical predictors and fall rates are shown with 95% confidence intervals. If the 95% confidence bar touches the ‘null’ line of RR=1 (i.e., fall rate is the same regardless of the variable), then the predictor is not significantly associated with fall rate at p = 0.05). Multivariate models were adjusted for: age, sex, race, depression, fall history, gait speed, physical activity, ADL, neuropathy, Berg Balance Test, and incontinence. DT models were also adjusted for task ability. Each line represents a separate statistical model, using predictor variables (COMRMS: Ke: B) measured in AP and ML directions during QS and DT conditions. Larger COMRMS was associated with greater risk of indoor falls. Ke and B were not associated with indoor fall rates.
