The dynamic gait index relates to self-reported fall history in individuals with vestibular dysfunction
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between gait instability and falls history in people with vestibular disorders. A total of 247 people (164 women, 83 men) participated in the study (mean age = 62.5). Falls history within the last 6 months and scores on the Dynamic Gait Index (DGI) were compared using the Mantel-Hantzel Chi-square statistic. Thirty-seven percent of all subjects reported falling within the last 6 months. Odds ratios in favor of falls with DGI scores of 19 or lower was 2.58 (95% were 2.58 times more likely to have reported a fall in the previous 6 months than subjects with scores above 19. Younger subjects (those under 65 years of age) with vestibular disorders reported more falls than persons 65 years of age or over. Younger people may be more willing to risk a fall while actively having a vestibular disorder. The DGI appears to be a good indicator of fall status in persons with vestibular disorders, regardless of age.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
