This study suggests that FoF is associated with changes in gait parameters, with the exception of stride length variability. These findings show a need for interventions to reduce FoF in older adults, which is a modifiable factor that is related to gait changes. More studies are needed to elucidate the relationship between FoF and motor control of gait in older adults.
