Background A crucial issue for the sustainability of societies is how to maintain health and
functioning in older people. With increasing age, losses in vision, hearing, balance, mobility …

Introduction Gait speed is recognized as an important predictor of adverse outcomes in older
people. However, it is unknown whether other more complex mobility tasks are better …

Objectives: To determine the association between volitional walking behavior and change in
walking ability and lower extremity function over 1 year in functionally limited older women …

Mobility is critical in maintaining independence in older adults. This study aims to
systematically review the scientific literature to identify measures of mobility limitation for …

Background. Outcomes of laboratorybased tests for mobility are often used to infer about
older adults' performance in real life; however, it is unclear whether such association exists …

Background Community-dwelling older persons with cognitive impairment (CI) following
discharge from geriatric rehabilitation are at high risk of losing life-space mobility (LSM) …

Objectives Physical activity–an important determinant of health and function in old age–may
vary according to the life-space area reached. Our aim was to study how moving through …

Abstract Background and Objectives Lawton's Ecological Model of Aging suggests that
associations between environment and mobility differ based on individual factors such as …

Background The relation of gait quality to real-life mobility among older adults is poorly
understood. This study examined the association between gait quality, consisting of step …

Background: Walking is the main type of physical activity among community-dwelling older
adults and it is associated with various health benefits. However, there is limited evidence …
