Cai Y, Leveille SG, Hausdorff JM, et al. - Researchers sought to determine the correlation between chronic musculoskeletal pain and foot reaction time (RT) among older community-living adults. they used the Brief Pain Inventory and a joint pain questionnaire to determine pain severity, interference, and location among 307 adults aged 71 years and older in the MOBILIZE Boston Study II. Findings revealed correlation of pain severity and interference with slower simple foot reaction time. They recorded slower choice foot reaction time in correlation with pain severity and knee pain. Participants with less education particularly showed this relationship significantly. Results thereby support that chronic pain may result in slower foot RT, thus could represent a fall hazard in older adults.
