The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of muscle quality on fear of fall, and lower extremity functionality in older women. The differences between muscle quality, fear of falling and lower extremity functionality in the elderly male and female participating in the study were investigated. Older women had worse muscle quality, higher fall concern and less lower extremity functionality than older men.
