“…For instance, a reduction in available attentional resources has been shown to disrupt movement planning [ 51 ] and lead to the selection of risky, unsafe behaviours [ 72 ]. Attentional resources are also required for rapid and accurate reactive stepping responses following a loss of balance [ 73 ]. Persistent worries will therefore limit the resources available for these important processes.…”

Background fear of falling is common in older adults and can have a profound influence on a variety of behaviours that increase fall risk. However, fear of falling can also have potentially positive outcomes for certain individuals. Without progressing our understanding of mechanisms underlying these contrasting outcomes, it is difficult to clinically manage fear of falling. Methods this paper first summarises recent findings on the topic of fear of falling, balance and fall risk—including work highlighting the protective effects of fear. Specific focus is placed on describing how fear of falling influences perceptual, cognitive and motor process in ways that might either increase or reduce fall risk. Finally, it reports the development and validation of a new clinical tool that can be used to assess the maladaptive components of fear of falling. Results we present a new conceptual framework—the Perceived Control Model of Falling—that describes specific mechanisms through which fear of falling can influence fall risk. The key conceptual advance is the identification of perceived control over situations that threaten one’s balance as the crucial factor mediating the relationship between fear and increased fall risk. The new 4-item scale that we develop—the Updated Perceived Control over Falling Scale (UP-COF)—is a valid and reliable tool to clinically assess perceived control. Conclusion this new conceptualisation and tool (UP-COF) allows clinicians to identify individuals for whom fear of falling is likely to increase fall risk, and target specific underlying maladaptive processes such as low perceived control.

“…Attention is a nebulously defined construct (Hommel et al, 2019), but many definitions incorporate the notion that our attentional focus can be directed internally or externallyand often both at the same time (Monaghan et al, 2022). Definitions also frequently include the concepts of top-down and bottom-up attentional processing.…”
