Neuroscience Research Australia
Description
The app uses pictures to assess fear of falling across various activities and situations. It demonstrates strong psychometric properties and continuity with the FES-I scale.
Icon-FES is an innovative way of assessing fear of falling using pictures to describe a range of activities and situations.
The initial validation study showed that Icon-FES has excellent psychometric properties and showed close continuity with FES-I.
Advantages of Icon-FES over FES-I are its normal distribution and its ability to assess fear of falling in high functioning older people.
Based on the research of Dr Kim Delebaere Development and initial validation of the Iconographical Falls Efficacy Scale.
