Highlight
- ReacStick testing of simple reaction time and inhibitory control effectively distinguishes recurrent fallers from nonfallers among older adults.
- Parameters reflecting short-latency inhibitory control, especially accuracy on light-off trials normalized to reaction time, demonstrated highest diagnostic accuracy (AUC ~0.80) for faller classification.
- Knee extensor strength showed a protective association against falls, while functional balance measures exhibited only nonsignificant trends.
- The combination of ReacStick inhibitory control testing and strength evaluation may enhance clinical risk stratification for falls in community-dwelling elders.
