A short physical performance battery assessing lower extremity function: association with self-reported disability and prediction of mortality and nursing home admission.
Jack M. Guralnik,Eleanor M. Simonsick,Luigi Ferrucci,Robert J. Glynn,Lisa F. Berkman,Dan G. Blazer,Paul A. Scherr,Robert B. Wallace +7 more
TL;DR: Evidence is presented that performance measures can validly characterize older persons across a broad spectrum of lower extremity function and that performance and self-report measures may complement each other in providing useful information about functional status.
