ABSTRACT
Falls are a common problem
in older adults and carry with
it significant consequences’
ranging from mild trauma
to fractures that bring a
significant increase in mortality
and disability, generating an
important social and economic
burden. Statistically, one in
three no institutionalized
people over 65 fall each year.
That is why health care
providers should have accurate
evaluation methods for fall risk
in the elderly that allow an early
intervention in the population
identified. The purpose of this
review is to analyze gait speed
measured in meters per second,
which is a simple and accessible
