Abstract

I read with great interest the study by Chen and Chou entitled "Biomechanical balance measures during timed up and go test improve prediction of prospective falls in older adult"1. The authors demonstrated that frontal plane COM motion measures during the sit-to-walk element of the timed-up-and-go test is the most reliable predictor of future recurrent falls. I congratulate the authors for investigating an important topic. However, I would like to comment on some issues pertaining to detailed information of the older adults and methodological issues as below.
