Muscle power declines earlier and more precipitously with advancing age compared with
muscle strength. Peak muscle power also has emerged as an important predictor of …

Adults are living longer, and cardiovascular disease is endemic in the growing population of
older adults who are surviving into old age. Functional capacity is a key metric in this …

Background The physiological impairments most strongly associated with functional
performance in older people are logically the most efficient therapeutic targets for exercise …

OBJECTIVE: To examine incidence, associated factors, and health care provider (HCP)
response to falls in persons with multiple sclerosis (MS). DESIGN: Cross-sectional …

Aging is associated with significant decline in neuromuscular function and performance.
Sarcopenia, often defined as age-related loss of muscle mass, strength, and functional …

The aging process leads to adverse changes in body composition (increases in fat mass
and decreases in skeletal muscle mass), declines in physical function (PF), and ultimately …

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

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether trunk muscle attributes are associated with balance and
mobility performance among mobility-limited older adults. DESIGN: Cross-sectional analysis …

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

Background and Purpose: Currently used balance assessments show a ceiling effect and
lack activities essential for community mobility in higher-functioning older adults. The aim of …
