N2  - This study aimed to summarise the function-related goals set by older people and to explore gender differences in goal selection, and associations between balance-related goals and fall history, self-rated balance and fear of falling. We included community-dwelling people aged 60+ participating in two randomised controlled trials. Participants nominated two function-related goals, which were summarised into components of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF). Chi-square analyses were used to explore associations between goal types and participant characteristics. Goals related to recreation and leisure, and walking were the most common function-related goals selected. Men and women set similar goals. Participants who had poor/fair self-reported balance were more likely to set a balance-related goal than people with good self-rated balance. In contrast, fallers and participants who had fear of falling were not more likely to select a balance-related goal than non-fallers and participants who had no fear of falling, respectively.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
