Ellen Freiberger,Paul L de Vreede,Daniel Schoene,Elisabeth Rydwik,Volkmar Mueller,Kerstin Frändin,Marijke Hopman-Rock +6 more
TL;DR: The Short Physical Performance Battery can be recommended most highly in terms of validity, reliability and responsiveness, followed by the Physical Performance Test and Continuous Scale Physical Functional Performance.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Importance of Physical Activity Exercise among Older People.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of physical training on physical performance in institutionalised elderly patients (70+) with multiple diagnoses
TL;DR: More studies are required, with larger sample sizes, higher specificity as to the types of interventions and assessments, greater focus on clinically relevant outcomes such as endurance and activities of daily living, and also, for example, quality of life and mortality.
Journal ArticleDOI
Investigation into the reliability and validity of the measurement of elderly people's clinical walking speed: A systematic review
TL;DR: Both habitual and maximum walking speeds are valid instruments, and they predict death, hospitalization/institutionalization, and decline in mobility.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of a physical and nutritional intervention program for frail elderly people over age 75. A randomized controlled pilot treatment trial
TL;DR: This study shows the positive effect on lower-extremity muscle strength directly after the intervention, and balance training most probably needs to be more individualized in order to be effective for frail elderly people.
