Falling is one of the problems that threatens the health of elderly patients. Based on study of validated studies on this topic, we have defined fitness parameters that are closely related to activities of daily living (ADL). The predictive models based on measured variables will be created as a tool for assessing the physical fitness of older adults with regard to fall prevention. The models could bring innovative approach to prevention of falls in older adults.
