OARSI recommended performance-based tests to assess physical function in people diagnosed with hip or knee osteoarthritis

TLDR
The OARSI recommended set of performance-based tests of physical function represents the tests of typical activities relevant to individuals diagnosed with hip or knee OA and following joint replacements and are complementary to patient-reported measures.

Confounding pain and function: the WOMAC's failure to accurately predict lower extremity function

TL;DR: The findings support previous investigations that showed the WOMAC-PF’s inability to provide a valid assessment in change in function and the GEE analysis coefficients can be used to convert LEFS scores to WOMac-PF scores that adjust for the bias between pre- and post-TKA assessments.

Optimization of physical functioning of patients before and after total hip arthroplasty

Ellen Oosting
TL;DR: This dissertation found that it's possible to offer vulnerable elderly people an intensive therapeutic training programme at home before surgery, tailored to the personal capabilities and needs of the patient, to prevent a further decline in physical fitness.

The Timed “Up & Go”: A Test of Basic Functional Mobility for Frail Elderly Persons

TL;DR: This study evaluated a modified, timed version of the “Get‐Up and Go” Test (Mathias et al, 1986) in 60 patients referred to a Geriatric Day Hospital and suggested that the timed “Up & Go’ test is a reliable and valid test for quantifying functional mobility that may also be useful in following clinical change over time.

International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health

TL;DR: The World Health Organization’s (WHO) International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) has been revised to recognize that the concept of disability resides largely in the sociocultural domain of the authors' lives rather than being an attribute of the individual.

Predicting the probability for falls in community-dwelling older adults using the Timed Up & Go Test.

TL;DR: The TUG is a sensitive and specific measure for identifying community-dwelling adults who are at risk for falls and the ability to predict falls is not enhanced by adding a secondary task when performing the TUG.

Comfortable and maximum walking speed of adults aged 20—79 years: reference values and determinants

TL;DR: Gait speed can be expected to be reduced in individuals of greater age and of lesser height and lower extremity muscle strength and normative values should give clinicians a reference against which patient performance can be compared in a variety of settings.

A 30-s chair-stand test as a measure of lower body strength in community-residing older adults

TL;DR: It was concluded that the 30-s chair stand provides a reasonably reliable and valid indicator of lower body strength in generally active, community-dwelling older adults.
