Introducción: La definición de temor a caer y los instrumentos para evaluarlo son claves para determinar la  magnitud del problema y establecer estrategias de intervención adecuadas. El objetivo es hacer un análisis  crítico de las definiciones y constructos de temor a caer y de los instrumentos de evaluación. Métodos: Se  encontraron cerca de 1200 publicaciones entre 1980 y 2011, en diversas bases de datos y bibliotecas. Los  criterios de exclusión fueron: idioma diferente al inglés, francés, portugués y español; incluir población  menor de 60 años, no tener como objeto central el temor a caer y estar duplicados. Basados en estos  criterios se retuvieron 337 documentos para la presente revisión. Resultados: Se han utilizado diferentes  conceptos y términos para definir y evaluar el temor a caer. Las más comunes son: disminución de la  autoeficacia, confianza en el equilibrio, preocupación, inquietud o ansiedad ante las caídas, miedo a caer,  control percibido sobre las caídas y síndrome del temor a caer. Existen más de doce instrumentos de  evaluación del temor a caer, desde una pregunta simple, hasta instrumentos elaborados para medir los  diferentes constructos. Discusión / Conclusiones: El temor a caer se refiere a la eventualidad de un evento  futuro, la confianza en el equilibrio y la autoeficacia se refieren a percepciones relacionadas con las  capacidades actuales de la persona, es decir, son tres constructos diferentes. Se necesita mayor investigación en torno a la conceptualización del temor a caer. La claridad y precisión pueden ser útiles en el desarrollo de  estrategias ajustadas a las necesidades individuales y de grupos.

Fear of falling
Introduction:  The definition of fear of falling and the instruments to assess it are key to determine the scale  of the problem and establish appropriate intervention strategies.. The aim of this paper is to provide a critical analysis of definitions and constructs of fear of falling and assessment tools. Methods: Around 1,200  publications issued between 1980 and 2011 were found in diverse data bases and libraries. The exclusion  criteria were: language different from English, French, Portuguese and Spanish; including population  younger than 60 years old; not having as a central aim fear of falling and being duplicated. Based on these  criteria, 337 documents were retained for this literature review. Results: Different concepts and terms have  been used to define and assess fear of falling. The most common are decrease in self-efficacy, trust in  equilibrium, worry, concern or anxiety about falls, fear of falling, control perceived about falling and fear of  falling syndrome. There are more than twelve fear of falling assessment instruments, from the simple  question to elaborated instruments to assess the different constructs. Discussion / Conclusions: Fear of  falling refers to the possibility of a future event; trust in equilibrium and selfefficacy refer to perceptions  related with the real capacities of the person, this is to say they are three different constructs.. Further  research is needed regarding the conceptualization of fear of falling. The conceptual clarity and precision can be useful in developing strategies tailored to the individual and group needs.
