Gait Speed as a Measure in Geriatric Assessment in Clinical Settings: A Systematic Review
The Journals of Gerontology Series A · 2012 · Vol. 68(1) · pp. 39–46
Abstract
Gait speed is an important measure in comprehensive geriatric assessment. The consolidation of data from multiple studies reported in this meta-analysis highlights the mobility limitations experienced by older people in clinical settings and the need for ongoing rehabilitation to attain levels sufficient for reintegration in the community.
