Objectives: To determine the self‐selected exercise intensity of older adults who report that
they walk briskly for exercise. An additional aim of the study was to assess the contribution of …

This study evaluated the use of walking speed as an indicator of function and health status
in acutely ill, hospitalized, older male veterans. Hospital inpatients in a Department of …

OBJECTIVES: To describe a set of complex walking tasks (CWTs) that can be used to
evaluate mobility and to characterize age‐and sex‐specific performance on these tests …

OBJECTIVES: To improve and broaden the applicability of performance‐based measures of
function for use in clinical and research settings. DESIGN: Cross‐sectional repeated …

Background Walking speed norms and several risk thresholds for poor health outcomes
have been published for community-dwelling older adults. It is unclear whether these values …

OBJECTIVE: Measures of physical performance are regarded as useful objective clinical
tools to estimate survival in elderly people. However, oldest old people, aged 85 years or …

OBJECTIVE: To estimate clinically relevant changes in functional mobility tests and
quantitative gait measures at group and individual level in frail elderly patients. STUDY …

OBJECTIVES: To determine the independent prognostic effect of seven potential frailty
criteria, including five from the Fried phenotype, on several adverse outcomes. DESIGN …

Overall physical performance can be represented by a composite score that is derived from
upper and lower extremity performance measures. We aimed to identify whether composite …

Background: Cognitively impaired older people fall twice as often as their cognitively intact
counterparts. There is, however, limited information on factors that increase the risk of falls in …
