The authors aimed to evaluate the test-retest reliability, validity, and clinical utility of the Modified Figure-of-Eight balance test with tandem gait (MFEtan) in high-functioning older adults. Their findings indicate that the MFEtan test exhibits good reliability and partial construct validity, suggesting it effectively assesses balance performance and may be a useful tool for monitoring balance changes and guiding interventions in this population.
