Balance deficits were identified using the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) and the Dynamic Gait Index (DGI), and participants were evaluated monthly. Hierarchical linear regression was used to assess the relationship between measures of balance (BBS and DGI) and efficacy (Falls Efficacy Scale) before intervention. A second model examined the relationship between changes in balance and changes in efficacy after participation in the program.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Results<\/jats:title>Preintervention scores of efficacy were significantly associated with age, depression, and BBS and DGI scores. After controlling for age, depression, and strength (force-generating capacity), BBS and DGI scores together accounted for 34% of the variance in preintervention efficacy. Significant improvements were noted in efficacy, BBS and DGI scores, and depression after intervention. When controlling for preintervention efficacy and changes in depression, the changes in DGI and BBS scores together explained 11% of the variance in the change in fall-related efficacy; however, only DGI scores contributed uniquely.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Limitations<\/jats:title>These results are tempered by the absence of a control group to examine the role of time on changes in efficacy.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Conclusions<\/jats:title>The results suggest that increased emphasis on mobility during rehabilitation leads to improved confidence to perform activities of daily living without falling.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.2522\/ptj.20090284","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,8,13]],"date-time":"2010-08-13T00:54:33Z","timestamp":1281660873000},"page":"1598-1606","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":22,"title":["Improved Fall-Related Efficacy in Older Adults Related to Changes in Dynamic Gait Ability"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"90","author":[{"given":"Mark D.","family":"Bishop","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"M.D. Bishop, PT, PhD, CSCS, is Assistant Professor, Department of Physical Therapy, University of Florida, PO Box 100154, Gainesville, FL 32610-0154 (USA)."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tara S.","family":"Patterson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"T.S.
