Timed mobility: description of measurement, performance, and dimensionality among older adults.

ABSTRACT: PURPOSE:To describe the measurement, performance, and dimensionality of five timed mobility activities completed by older adults. MATERIALS AND METHODS:Cross-sectional observational study using correlational and factor analysis to examine the dimensionality of five timed mobility activities performed by 189 older adults in an outpatient setting. RESULTS:The times to complete supine-to-sit, five repetition sit-to-stand, 8 m comfortable gait, four step ascent, and four step descent were correlated significantly with one another (r?=?0.294-0.827, p?
