"Stops walking when talking" as a predictor of falls in elderly people.
TL;DR: This investigation investigated the usefulness of the sign “stops walking when talking” in predicting falls and found that some frail elderly patients stop walking when they start a conversation with a walking companion, presumably because walking demands attention and they stop when they are expected to do two things at once.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The correlation between scores on the different scales suggests that the scales measure some dimension of inner strength and that the oldest old have this strength at least in the same extent as younger adults.
