Background and Purpose During the aging process, older adults may experience a loss of
strength and power, which then may lead to functional limitations and disability. The purpose …

Purpose: While lower extremity strength and power show a relationship to laboratory
measures of walking in older adults, the relationship of strength and power to walking …

OBJECTIVES: From among physiological attributes commonly targeted in rehabilitation, to
identify those in which changes led to clinically meaningful differences (CMDs) in mobility …

Background Functional limitations have been operationally defined for studies of
rehabilitation science through measures of physical performance and patient-reported …

Background. Lower limb muscle power impairments are modifiable factors underlying
mobility limitations in older adults. This study examined relationships between upper and …

Abstract Background and Purpose. Musculoskeletal impairments and functional limitations
are linked to disability in older adults. The purposes of this study were to identify the …

Objectives: This study examined the influence of lower extremity body composition and
muscle strength on the severity of mobility-disability in community-dwelling older adults …

OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to assess the influence of leg power and leg
strength on the physical performance of community‐dwelling mobility‐limited older people …

Objectives: To explore the relationship between impairment (skeletal muscle strength and
contraction velocity) and function in community‐dwelling older adults. Design: Cross …

Background. We compared the effects of two uniquely different lower extremity power
training interventions on changes in muscle power, physical performance, neuromuscular …
