Association of lower-limb strength with different fall histories or prospective falls in community-dwelling older people: a systematic review and meta-analysis by Ringo Tang-Long Zhu, Jenny Jing-Jing Zuo, Ke-Jing Li, Freddy Man Hin Lam, Arnold Yu Lok Wong, Lin Yang, Xue Bai, Man Sau Wong, Timothy Kwok, Yong-Ping Zheng, Christina Zong-Hao Ma

“…Tests of entire lower-limb power required the cumulative and coordinated contractions of more leg muscles, possibly explaining why they could identify the fallers whereas the RTD or power of a single muscle group could not. Future studies are warranted to determine cut-point values of the entire lower-limb power measurements in fall-risk assessment and explore rapid force generation of a single muscle group in predicting the injurious falls among older adults. …”
