简要总结
Aging is associated with cognitive and physical decline, leading to an increased risk of falls in older adults. Recent evidence highlights the critical role of cognitive functions-such as attention, memory, and executive functioning-in postural control and fall risk. This study aims to develop and validate a novel Reactive Skill Test (RST) that simultaneously assesses cognitive (reaction time, visual attention, short-term memory) and motor responses in older adults. The test involves matching colored stimuli to targets using a color-coded pod and cone setup controlled via the ReactionX system. The validity of RST will be examined through correlations with established cognitive and fall risk measures, while test-retest reliability will be assessed across separate sessions. This tool may provide early detection of cognitive-motor impairments contributing to fall risk in aging populations.

Development of the Reactive Skills Test
时间窗: For the reliability of RBT, the test will be performed again one week later at the same time of day.
The Reactive Skill Test will be conducted using a setup consisting of four pods, white cones, and balls that match the colors of the light signals. During the test, a ReactionX device configured with four distinct light colors (red, green, blue, and yellow) will be used. The test protocol is programmed via the ReactionX mobile application to control the sequence and display of lights. Each LED light is illuminated in a randomized order with zero delay time. Upon illumination, the participant is required to select the ball corresponding to the color of the light, place it on the matching cone, and then deactivate the LED light of the same color as the last placed ball. The test concludes once this sequence is completed for all four lights. Performance is evaluated based on parameters such as reaction time, accuracy, and total completion time. This protocol is specifically designed to assess cognitive skills such as color recognition, reaction speed, motor coordination and attention.
