Tóm tắt	The Activities-Specific Balance Confidence (ABC) Scale is a self-report questionnaire developed by Powell and Myers in 1995 to measure an older adult's confidence in maintaining balance while performing 16 common daily activities. Unlike performance-based balance tests, the ABC Scale captures self-efficacy—the person's subjective belief in their ability to perform activities without losing balance or falling. It is widely used in clinical practice, rehabilitation, and research to identify individuals at high fall risk due to low balance confidence and to measure outcomes of interventions designed to restore confidence and activity participation.	The FRAIL Scale is a brief, five-item clinical screening tool developed by John E. Morley and colleagues to identify frailty in older adults. Designed as a simple and efficient alternative to more comprehensive frailty assessments, it incorporates the key domains of the frailty phenotype: fatigue, resistance, ambulation, illness, and weight loss. The FRAIL Scale is widely used in primary care, hospital, and long-term care settings to stratify risk and guide management decisions.
