Abstract

The Chinese version of the Movement Specific Reinvestment Scale (MSRS-C) was discovered to have good discriminative power between older fallers from nonfallers, and it shows potential as a novel fall prediction tool by assessing conscious motor processing propensity of the older adults. This qualitative study (focus group) investigated potential weaknesses during the application of the MSRSC in community-dwelling older adults. The results confirmed two major potential weaknesses of the MSRS-C: older adults may respond differently when asked to complete the MSRS-C in the context of movements related or unrelated to balance or locomotion; older adults may be better able to differentiate a 4-point Likert response format than the original 6-point format MSRS-C. Further study was developed to examine the identified potential weaknesses.
