Secondary analysis of data collected for a randomized controlled trial of exercise using binary outcomes defined by recording a large CMD (Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB)=1 unit; gait speed (GS)=0.1 m/s). Iterative [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Despite research supporting its validity in predicting falls, simple reaction time (SRT) is not typically included in a clinical falls assessment battery because there is no standardised, clinically feasible testing protocol with published cut off scores. This study aimed to determine whether SRT scores obtained using a clinically viable protocol could discriminate between multiple and [...]
