Background: Due to the mobility problems of the elderly, it is better to use low-cost and
applicable methods in any place, which do not require expertise to measure gait. One of
these ubiquitous methods is functional gait assessment (FGA).
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to collect and evaluate FGA in the elderly.
Materials & Methods: This study conducted a comprehensive study of FGA in the elderly
by searching the databases of PubMed, MEDLINE, Web of Science, ScienceDirect,
Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Clinical Trials, Google Scholar, Scopus,
MAGIRAN, IRANDOC, Iran Medex, MedLib, and SID from ۱۹۹۶ to November ۲۰۲۰.
After compiling the search results, we first studied the titles and then the abstracts. If an
article matched the inclusion and exclusion criteria, its results were used in the review
study; otherwise, it was excluded.
Results: Based on the research criteria and objectives, from ۲۳ different tests, the results
of ۱۹ articles that studied FGA in the elderly were selected and reported.
Conclusion: Studies seem to attempt FGA in the elderly using different methods and for
different purposes. For example, studies to assess gait velocity, normal gait, and gait, along
with functional and cognitive tasks, have measured FGA in the elderly. Besides, the two
main features of a valid test including sensitivity and specificity have been less studied.
Therefore, more studies should focus on these test features in measuring FGA in the elderly.
