Sampling criterion was 5-subject for each item. Data were collected with Persian translated of Fall Efficacy Scale-International that measure concern about falling when performing 16-activities of daily living. Internal reliability with Cronbach,s alpha 0.98 and test-retest reliability with Pearson correlation coefficient 0.70 confirmed.
Results: K-M-O measure was 0.965 and meaningful, indicating sampling adequacy. Factor analysis with Principal component and Varimax rotation resulted in one factor extraction with Eigenvalue over 1 (12.474) that predicted 77.96% of variance. Factor loading for 16-item ranged 0.637 to 0.859. Internal reliability was excellent (Cronbach,s Alpha 0.98) and 1 to 2-week test-retest reliability (n=36, 50% female) was good (Pearson correlation coefficient 0.70).
