The method used is an analytical survey with a cross-sectional research design. The study showed a relationship between step length and the risk of falling, p-value = 0.002 (p ≤ 0.05). There is a relationship between step width and fall risk, p-value = 0.002 (p ≤ 0.05). There is a relationship between walking speed and the risk of falling, p-value = 0.002 (p ≤ 0.05).
