Measures listed have a significant correlation (p < 0.05) with the fall measure in a single predictor model and are therefore entered into the multiple predictor model shown in the far right column. P-values (p), regression coefficients (β), and 95% confidence intervals (CI) are shown for each model, in addition to the adjusted R2 and F values. Empty sub tables represent a fall measure and a measurement domain that did not yield any significant predictors for each single predictor model. DTH, dual-task hit; L SMA, left supplementary motor area; R DPMC, right dorsal premotor cortex.
