Complex Approach in Examination of Function of the Knee Joint in Patients with Osteoarthritis

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors presented the possibilities of a comprehensive evaluation, described the problem of the lack of a single standard for investigation of the KJ function, and made a conclusion about the necessity to develop a software-hardware complex that maximally satisfies the criteria of objectivity, accessibility and quickness of use for evaluation of function of the knee joint in OA.

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.
