Self-Reported Walking Ability Predicts Functional Mobility
INTERVENTION AND MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: We compared the responses of these older adults on a questionnaire battery used by the Established Populationls for the Epidemiologic Study of the Elderly (EPFSE) project, to performance on mobility tasks of graded difficulty. Responses to the EPESE battcry included: (1) whether assistance was required to perform seven Katz activities of daily living (ADL...
متن کاملSelf-reported sleep quality predicts poor cognitive performance in healthy older adults.
This study examined the relation between sleep quality and cognitive performance in older adults, controlling for common medical comorbidities. Participants were community volunteers who, while not selected on the basis of their sleep, did report substantial variability in sleep quality. Good and poor sleepers differed on tests of working memory, attentional set shifting, and abstract problem s...
متن کاملLongitudinal Changes in Self-Reported Walking Ability in Multiple Sclerosis
BACKGROUND Patient-reported outcomes are increasingly used to understand the clinical meaningfulness of multiple sclerosis disability and its treatments. For example, the 12-item Multiple Sclerosis Walking Scale (MSWS-12) measures the patient-reported impact of the disease on walking ability. OBJECTIVE We studied longitudinal changes in walking ability using the MSWS-12 in a cohort of 108 pat...
متن کاملBed mobility task performance in older adults.
Difficulty in transferring, the ability to rise in and out of a bed and chair, is a common problem in older adults, particularly those residing in skilled nursing facilities. Focusing on one aspect of transferring, rising from supine to sitting position, we devised a set of bed mobility tasks to test key arm, leg, and trunk movements that likely contribute to successful rising from bed. Healthy...
متن کاملNeural specificity predicts fluid processing ability in older adults.
We investigated whether individual differences in neural specificity-the distinctiveness of different neural representations-could explain individual differences in cognitive performance in older adults. Neural specificity was estimated based on how accurately multivariate pattern analysis identified neural activation patterns associated with specific experimental conditions. Neural specificity...
