Self-Selected Walking Speed Is Predictive of Daily Ambulatory Activity in Older Adults

Abstract: Daily ambulatory activity is associated with health and functional status in older adults; however, assessment requires multiple days of activity monitoring. The objective of this study was to determine the relative capabilities of self-selected walking speed (SSWS), maximal walking speed (MWS), and walking speed reserve (WSR) to provide insight into daily ambulatory activity (steps per day) in community-dwelling older adults. Sixty-seven older adults completed testing and activity monitoring (age 80.39(6.73) … Show more

“…Specific mechanisms regulating this transfer will be analyzed in future study. The effects of different speeds on biomechanic and energetic responses in our study are in line with previous studies in adults [36,53,54] and even in elderly [5]. Interestingly, our study showed that speed-cost profiles were altered by endurance training.…”

“…This finding is in line with earlier observations in self-selected walking speed in elderly [52]. The self-selected speed is a feasible proxy for evaluating and monitoring daily ambulatory activity in elderly [54]. Therefore, both training programs were capable of increasing walking ability.…”

“…A topic studied in this work refers to the in‐hospital length of stay. Although LOS depends on several factors such as the outpatient care structure of each country or region, some authors find a reduction in hospital stay when collaborative models are used, similar to those shown in our study.

“…The CGS cutoff of 0.93 m/s found in our study for discriminating between limited and unlimited community walking ambulators based on realworld stepping identified in this study is similar to the CGS value (0.97 m/s) that can discriminate among older adults who walk >8000 steps/d. 36 Walking in one's home and community is meaningful activity for people poststroke. 2 However, it is a complex behavior involving individual, environmental, and contextual factors 37 that make it challenging to measure.…”
