Test-retest strength reliability: Hand-held dynamometry in community-dwelling elderly fallers
TL;DR: By using an HHD and a standardized measurement protocol, a novice tester can obtain reliable lower-extremity strength values in community-dwelling elderly fallers.

Physical-performance tests to evaluate mobility disability in community-dwelling elders.
TL;DR: The results suggest that community-mobility function of older adults can be captured by performance tests and that the cutoff values of the 5-min-walk, 5-step, and 50-ft-walk tests can be used in guiding intervention or prevention programs.

Construct validity and physical performance of older adults in different hierarchical physical-disability levels
TL;DR: Health-related variables and eight performance-based tests demonstrated significant group differences and self-reported measures of physical disability can be used to categorize older adults into different stages of physical functional decline.

Trunk-arm coordination in reaching for moving targets in people with Parkinson's disease: Comparison between virtual and physical reality
TL;DR: It is suggested that using real moving targets in trunk-assisted prehension tasks improves the speed and synchronization of trunk and arm motions in people with PD, and that using virtual moving targets may induce a movement termination strategy different from that used in physical reality.
