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 Article
Muscle strength as a predictor of onset of ADL dependence in people aged 75 years.
TL;DR: Examining maximal isometric strength of multiple muscle groups as a predictor of losing independence in activities of daily living found that the association of muscle strength and incident ADL-dependence was similar in men and women.
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
Home rehabilitation after hip fracture. A randomized controlled study on balance confidence, physical function and everyday activities
TL;DR: This study indicates that home rehabilitation, focused on supported discharge and enhancing self-efficacy, improves balance confidence, independence and physical activity in community-dwelling older adults in the early phase after hip fracture.
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.
