摘要

The primary aim of this study was to determine if the walking speed of frail aged patients can be measured routinely and reliably by properly trained regular patient care staff in community primary care practices. Declines in lower extremity function, and particularly in walking speed, have been shown in prospective cohort studies to correlate strongly with a higher risk of loss of self-care and a higher risk of hospitalization, nursing home placement, and death. The measurements of walking speed in these studies have been done by specially trained research staff in controlled research settings. The clinical value of having regular patient care staff in community practices routinely measure walking speed as an indicator (vital sign) of progressing frailty has not been demonstrated. A first step in this process is to demonstrate the reliability and feasibility of measuring the walking speed of frail aged patients in this setting.
