N2 - Aim: To evaluate the reliability and the correlation of the Stepping Trail Making Test (S-TMT) and Trail Walking Test (TWT) in a European older adult population. Findings: Both S-TMT and TWT demonstrated good-to-excellent test-retest reliability. Further, a moderate correlation was found between S-TMT and TWT, suggesting that they evaluate different aspects of motor–cognitive function. Message: These findings support the integration of both tests into geriatric assessments for better identification of fall risk and cognitive decline.
