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

Objective To identify the neuromuscular attributes that are associated with self-reported
mobility status among older primary care patients. Design Cohort study. Setting Metropolitan …

Background For older adults with mobility problems, one focus of rehabilitation is treating the
underlying neuromuscular impairment (s) that lead to functional decline and disability …

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

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 It is critical to determine the risk factors for activities of daily living (ADL) disability
caused by locomotor dysfunction. However, no longitudinal study has investigated the …

Background. Mobility is an essential aspect of everyday life and enables autonomy and
participation. Although many risk factors for mobility loss have been previously described …

Abstract Background The Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) is advocated as a
screening tool in geriatric care for predicting future disability. We aimed to identify the leg …

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