A physical performance evaluation can inform fall risk in older people, however, the predictiveness of a one‐time assessment is limited. The trajectory of physical performance over time has not been well characterized and might improve fall prediction. We aimed to characterize trajectories in physical performance and determine if fall prediction improves using trajectories of performance.
