功能性能力在晚年会下降。该项目的目的是确定力量，姿势控制和关节疼痛是否可以预测老年人四项功能任务的表现。28名老年人完成了力量，姿势控制，关节疼痛和四项功能任务的评估。记录完成以下功能性任务的持续时间：1）起床，坐到椅子上，然后回到床上; 2）穿过街道，上公共汽车; 3）离开汽车的乘客侧; 4）爬27级楼梯。逐步回归方程表明，坐行强度和动态姿势控制的所有任务的显着预测，并占每个方程的方差的最大比例。这些结果表明，身体素质的措施可能是更重要的预测功能的任务在老年人比实际年龄。
Functional ability declines in later life. The purpose of this project was to determine if strength, postural control, and joint pain predict performance of four functional tasks among older adults. A sample of 28 older adults completed assessments of strength, postural control, joint pain, and four functional tasks. The duration to complete the functional tasks of: 1) getting out of bed, going to a chair, and then returning to bed; 2) crossing a street and getting onto a bus; 3) exiting the passenger side of a car; and 4) climbing a flight of 27 stairs was recorded. Step-wise regression equations indicated that seated row strength and dynamic postural control were significant predictors of all of the tasks and accounted for the largest proportion of the variance in each equation. These results indicate that measures of physical fitness may be more important predictors of functional tasks among older adults than chronological age.
