Abstract
Introduction: This article systematically reviews the reliability and validity of balance and gait outcome measures obtained by teleassessment in older adults. Methods: Two reviewers searched electronic databases for articles published from 2010 to 2022. Included studies were appraised for quality. Results: Six articles were reviewed. Reliability was found to be low to good, and validity was acceptable, with some concerns with bias during testing. Discussion: There is evidence to support the use of certain balance and gait outcome measures in teleassessment of the older adult population if the individuals have appropriate electronic devices for telecommunication, good Internet connectivity, and adequate technological knowledge.
