OBJECTIVE: To determine how self‐reported physical function relates to performance in
each of three mobility domains: walking, stance maintenance, and rising from chairs …

Objectives: To determine whether the ability to walk 400 m could be predicted from self‐
reported walking habits and abilities in older adults and to develop an accurate self‐report …

The purpose of this study is to examine the predictive validity of seven mobility-related
performance tests to identify and predict older adults' mobility disability status after a 2-year …

Background. Mobility limitations are prevalent, potentially reversible precursors to mobility
loss that may go undetected in older adults. This study evaluates standardized …

Background. Habitual gait speed (HGS) and the figure-of-8 walking test (F8WT) are
measures of walking ability that have been associated with mobility outcomes and disability …

Background Functional assessment is an important part of the evaluation of elderly persons.
We conducted this study to determine whether objective measures of physical function can …

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the Pittsburgh Fatigability Scale (PFS) as a predictor of
performance and functional decline in mobility‐intact older adults. DESIGN Longitudinal …

OBJECTIVE: To develop and validate the Physical Performance and Mobility Examination
(PPME), an observer‐administered, performance‐based instrument assessing 6 domains of …

Background Many recent guidelines and consensus on sarcopenia have incorporated gait
speed and grip strength as diagnostic criteria without addressing early posture changes …

Objective: To determine the usefulness of the 6-minute walk test as an integrated measure of
mobility in older adults. Design: Observational study. Setting: Community centers and …
