Discusses the content of functional mobility (ambulation) assessment of the elderly and describes the limitations of relying solely on either a disease-oriented or a gait-analytic approach. A performance-oriented assessment of mobility is described that incorporates features of both approaches; integrates multiple physical, cognitive, and psychologic characteristics; and relies on direct observation of function. Limitations of the proposed categorization system are noted, but it is considered to be a clinically useful way to utilize data frequently obtained in the care of older patients.(18 ref)(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved)
