目的：目的：探讨老年人步态速度（GS）与功能独立性的关系。设计：建议将GS作为反映肌力的康复指标。本研究旨在评估步态速度与日常生活活动（ADL）功能独立性之间的关系。GS是由便携式加速度计测量超过2米。取3次尝试的平均值。ADL功能由职业治疗师使用改良的Barthel ADL指数进行测量。这些措施之间的关系进行了评估，由一个statistician.Setting：在苏格兰的一家医院的老年单位。患者：161名住院患者和门诊患者被随机选择的老年单位超过3个月的时间内的患者。干预措施：采用便携式超声加速度计测量GS。由职业治疗师对患者进行审查，对他们的GS不知情，记录功能能力。病例表审查提供了诊断详情和认知功能。主要观察指标：GS（m/sec）和Barthel评分。
Objective: To establish the relationship between gait speed (GS) and functional independence in elderly people.Design: GS is suggested as being a criterion standard in rehabilitation reflecting muscle strength. This study assessed the relationship between gait speed and functional independence in Activities of Daily Living (ADL). GS was measured by portable accelerometer over 2 meters. The mean of 3 attempts was taken. ADL function was measured by an occupational therapist using the modified Barthel ADL Index. The relationship between these measures was assessed by a statistician.Setting: A geriatric unit in a hospital in Scotland.Patients: One hundred sixty-one inpatients and outpatients were selected at random from the patients of a geriatric unit over a 3-month period. Patients were eligible if they were mobile with or without a walking aid.Interventions: GS was measured by portable ultrasonic accelerometer. Patients were reviewed by an occupational therapist, blinded to their GS, who recorded functional capacity. Case sheet review provided diagnostic details and cognitive function. The type of floor surface was recorded.Main Outcome Measures: GS (m/sec), and Barthel score.Results: Patients with GS of
