Concurrent Validity Between Potential Screening Tests for Early Mobility Decline in Independent Community Dwellers. J. Geriatr. Phys. Ther. (IF 2.4) Pub Date : 2022-09-15 Yuri Yoshida,Joseph A Zeni,YiLiang Zhu,Robert L Rhyne
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Standardized screening tests that detect early mobility decline, regardless of etiology, are needed for healthy aging. The locomotive syndrome (LS) tests are designed to identify stages of mobility decline and inform appropriate levels of intervention. The long-term goal of this research is to develop standardized mobility screening tests that can be used across health care settings

Some But Not Too Much: Multiparticipant Therapy and Positive Patient Outcomes in Skilled Nursing Facilities J. Geriatr. Phys. Ther. (IF 2.4) Pub Date : 2022-09-13 Rachel A. Prusynski, Sean D. Rundell, Sujata Pradhan, Tracy M. Mroz
Background and Purpose: Physical and occupational therapy practices in skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) were greatly impacted by the 2019 Medicare Patient-Driven Payment Model (PDPM). Under the PDPM, the practice of multiparticipant therapy—treating more than one patient per therapy provider per session—increased in SNFs, but it is unknown how substituting multiparticipant therapy for individualized

Geriatric Vulnerabilities Among Obese Older Adults With and Without Sarcopenia: Findings From a Nationally Representative Cohort Study J. Geriatr. Phys. Ther. (IF 2.4) Pub Date : 2022-08-18 Kathleen R. Dondero, Jason R. Falvey, Brock A. Beamer, Odessa Addison
Background and Purpose: Sarcopenic obesity is associated with loss of independence among older adults, but the epidemiology of sarcopenic obesity and associated geriatric vulnerabilities are poorly understood. Thus, our objectives were to: (1) estimate the prevalence of older adults with sarcopenic obesity and (2) examine rates of geriatric vulnerabilities among obese older adults, with and without

Can the 1-Leg Standing Test Be Replaced by Self-reported Balance in the First-Time Injurious Fall Screening Tool? J. Geriatr. Phys. Ther. (IF 2.4) Pub Date : 2022-08-10 Nathalie Frisendahl,Stina Ek,Erik Rosendahl,Erika Franzén,Anne-Marie Boström,Anna-Karin Welmer
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The First-time Injurious Fall (FIF) screening tool was created to identify fall risk in community-living older men and women, who may be targets for primary preventive interventions. The FIF tool consists of 3 self-reported questions and 1 physical test (1-leg standing balance). The purpose of this study was to examine the predictive ability of the FIF tool and a modified FIF

Feasibility of a 4-Week Manual Therapy and Exercise Intervention on Posture and Function in Community-Dwelling Older Adults: A Pilot Study J. Geriatr. Phys. Ther. (IF 2.4) Pub Date : 2022-08-05 Lynne C. Hughes, Rebecca V. Galloway, Steve R. Fisher
Background and Purpose: Thoracic hyperkyphosis is a common condition that progresses with aging and has been associated with impaired functional performance, increased risk of falls, and even mortality. Previous studies to improve posture primarily used exercise for durations of 3 months or longer. The purpose of this pilot study was to examine the feasibility of a manual therapy intervention in community-dwelling
