Background Many apparently independent older adults modify daily tasks. Task
modifications strongly predict future mobility disability. Clinically intuitive, easily measured …

Background. Modification of everyday tasks in older adults is associated with risk of
deleterious health outcomes. The purpose of this study was to develop a task modification …

Background and Purpose: Rate of force development (RFD) is influential, and possibly more
influential than other muscular performance parameters, for mobility in older adults …

Objective To identify neuromuscular impairments most predictive of unfavorable mobility
outcomes in late life. Design Longitudinal cohort study. Setting Research clinic. Participants …

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 …

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

Background The movement profile of older adults with compromised function is unknown, as
is the relationship between these profiles and the development of major mobility disability …

Abstract Background Approximately 35% of individuals> 70 years have mobility limitations.
Historically, it was posited lean mass and muscle strength were major contributors to …

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 …

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 …
