Slowness as a Predictor of Functional Decline in Older Adults: Comparison of Moberg Picking-Up Test and Walking Speed
Slowness, generally assessed by walking speed (WS), is an estimator of frailty and its outcomes. Because of potential difficulties in assessing WS, the Moberg picking-up test (MPUT) might be an alternative. This study investigated the capacity of slowness measurements (WS and MPUT) to predict nonfatal adve...
