Bradypedia: Is gait speed ready for clinical use?
Open accessAbstract
878 Mobility, or locomotion, could be considered a distinguishing feature of the entire animal kingdom. It is central to the ability to obtain food, escape danger and survive. Interestingly, across virtually all animal species, aging is associated with generalized slowing of movement (1-3). In humans, the capacity to move underlies many basic and community functions necessary for independence. For these reasons, a simple indicator of mobility has the potential to serve as a core indicator of health and function in aging and disease. In the current issue of JNHA, a Task Force of the International Academy on Nutrition and Aging has made an invaluable contribution to the field of mobility and aging by summarizing the literature on the predictive capacity of usual gait speed in older persons (4). Using rigorous methods to identify sources of evidence, they combined information from diverse aging populations and used high priority outcomes to assess potential validity. Gait speed was a powerful predictor of survival, disability, hospitalization or institutionalization, dementia and falls. The Task Force also considered practical issues related to feasibility in clinical settings in order to generate initial

“Interestingly, a recommended cutoff for the six minute walk is 350 meters, which is almost identical to a gait speed of around 1.0 meters per second, a cutoff for normal gait speed considered by the task force and others (21, 22).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
