Continuous-scale physical functional performance test: validity, reliability, and sensitivity of data for the short version.
TL;DR: The PFP-10 yields valid, reliable, and sensitive measurements and can be confidently substituted for the CS-PFP, and is sensitive to change.

Abstract: Background and Purpose. The Continuous-Scale Physical Functional Performance Test (CS-PFP) can be used to obtain valid, reliable, and sensitive measurements of physical functional capacity. This test requires a fixed laboratory space and approximately 1 hour to administer. This study was carried out in 4 steps, or substudies, to develop and validate a short, community-based version (PFP-10) that requires less space and equipment than the CS-PFP. Subjects and Methods. Retrospective data (n=228) and prospective data (n=91) on men and women performing the CS-PFP or the PFP-10 are reported. A 12-week exercise program was used to examine sensitivity to change. Data analyses were done using paired t -test, Pearson correlation, intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), and delta index (DI) procedures. Results. The PFP-10 total score and 4 of the 5 domain scores were statistically similar (within 3%) to those of the CS-PFP. The PFP-10 upper-body strength domain score was 17% lower, but was highly correlated (ICC=.97). Community and established laboratory PFP-10 scores were similar (ICC=.85–.97). The PFP-10 also is sensitive to change (DI=.21–.54). Discussion and Conclusion. The PFP-10 yields valid, reliable, and sensitive measurements and can be confidently substituted for the CS-PFP.

A Randomized Trial of an Intensive Physical Therapy Program for Patients with Acute Respiratory Failure
Marc Moss,Amy Nordon-Craft,Daniel C Malone,David Van Pelt,Stephen K. Frankel,Mary Laird Warner,Wendy Kriekels,Monica McNulty,Diane L. Fairclough,Margaret Schenkman +9 more
TL;DR: An intensive PT program did not improve long-term physical functional performance compared with a standard-of-care program and there were no differences in the total CS-PFP-10 scores at all three time points.
Performance-based or self-report measures of physical function: which should be used in clinical trials of hip fracture patients?

Effects of Resistance Training on Functional Strength and Muscle Mass in 70-Year-Old Individuals With Pre-sarcopenia: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Sanna Vikberg,Niklas Sörlén,Lisa Brandén,Jonas Johansson,Anna Nordström,Andreas Hult,Peter Nordström +6 more
TL;DR: The main finding of this intervention study is that an easy-to-use, functional resistance training program was effective in maintaining functional strength and increasing muscle mass in older adults with pre-sarcopenia.

High-speed circuit training vs hypertrophy training to improve physical function in sarcopenic obese adults: a randomized controlled trial.
TL;DR: Considering the moderate effect size, the large treatment effect shown by the upper limit of the 95% CI, the low perceived exertion, and no adverse effects, HSC training should be further investigated with a larger sample size in sarcopenic obese adults.

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.
