To explore the effects that impaired ability to sit-to-stand has on upright mobility and self-care in children with cerebral palsy and how this in turn may affect their caregivers....
A mixed methods research design was conducted with 25 children who had cerebral palsy with moderate to high mobility limitations (GMFCS levels III and IV) and their caregivers. Caregivers were intervi...
Two themes were identified from qualitative analyses: Difficulty in sit-to-stand was perceived by caregivers to reduce their child's ability to independently and safely perform mobility and some self-...
The ability to sit-to-stand independently may be an important precursor skill for independence in upright mobility and self-care for children with moderate to severe mobility limitations....
This study aimed to analyze the needs and utilization of the home and community integrated healthcare and daily care services ("home and community care services" for short) among older adults in China...
Cross-sectional data were obtained from the 2018 China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study. Needs and utilization rates of the home and community care services in older adults of 60 years old and...
About 32.6% of older adults aged 60 years old and above had limited mobility in China in 2018, but only 18.5% of them used the home and community care services. Among the single service utilization, t...
This current study showed that older adults with needs of home and community care services underused the services. Pro-rich inequities in services utilization were identified and income was the larges...
Mobility limitation, a manifestation of impaired intrinsic capacity, is the first obvious sign of functional decline. However, few studies have been conducted on the prevalence and incidence of mobili...
The study used two waves of data from China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) in 2011 and 2013. The prevalence and incidence of mobility limitation were assessed using the methods reco...
Of the 5507 participants with complete baseline data, 1486 had limited mobility, and 4021 had intact mobility at baseline; 4093 participants completed follow-up assessment 2 years later, and 189 died ...
The standardized prevalence of mobility limitation in Chinese older adults living in the community was 30.4%, and the standardized incidence was 18.1%. Mobility limitation significantly predicts 2-yea...
Physical activity (PA) is beneficial for older adults' health, however they remain the least active age group in the UK. This qualitative longitudinal study aims to understand motivations in older adu...
Participants were older adults randomised to the intervention arm of the Retirement in ACTion (REACT) Study, a group-based physical activity and behaviour maintenance intervention to prevent decline o...
Perceptions of autonomy, competence and relatedness were associated with adherence to the REACT programme and maintenance of an active lifestyle. Motivational processes and participants' support needs...
Motivational support needs vary in different stages of a 12-month group-based programme (adoption and adherence) and post-intervention (long-term maintenance). Strategies to accommodate those needs in...
The REACT study was a pragmatic multi-centre, two-arm, single-blind, parallel-group, RCT (ISRCTN registration number 45627165)....
Gluteal muscle quality influences risk of falling and mobility limitation. We sought (1) to compare gluteal muscle fatty infiltration (FI) between groups of older women with urinary incontinence (UI) ...
Prospective pilot study of gluteal FI on pelvis MRI for 19 women with UI, aged ≥ 70 years. A musculoskeletal radiologist selected axial T1-weighted MR images; then, two blinded medical student researc...
Mean age, 76.3 ± 4.8 years; no difference for age or body mass index (BMI) between the at-risk (n = 5) versus not-at-risk (n = 14) groups. SPPB score (p = 0.013) was lower for the at-risk group (6.4 ±...
Older women with UI at risk for falling have greater levels of gluteal FI and mobility limitation as compared to those not at risk for falling....
The future will witness the substantial worldwide growth of older people with functional limitations or disabilities who have difficulties leaving their dwellings and traveling to their neighborhoods ...
Mobility is an independent predictor of physical functionality, healthy ageing, and quality of life. Various literatures have associated mobility limitation in older adulthood with demographic and soc...
This protocol was written according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Protocols (PRISMA-P) guidelines. We will perform a comprehensive search of all observationa...
Mobility limitation leads to frequent falls, dependency, morbidity, and death among older adults. This review is necessary, to identify and prioritise important sociodemographic factors during older a...

Developing global evidence on the influence of health-related behaviors (e.g., sedentary behavior, diet) and mobility limitations on health requires global consortia from diverse sets of countries. Th...
50 adult Saudi participants (mean age 41.7±9.6, 48% female) participated in this study. We followed a systematic cross-cultural adaptation process that involved forward translation, synthesis, back-tr...
With some minor changes to the questionnaires, the SBQ, Dietary Habits, and Preclinical Mobility Limitation questionnaires were translated and cross-culturally adapted into Arabic. 100% of the partici...
The SBQ, Dietary Habits questionnaire, and Preclinical Mobility Limitation questionnaire were successfully cross-culturally adapted into Arabic and are now ready for use in Saudi Arabian....
Functional impairment predicts mortality and health care utilization. However, validated measures of functional impairment are not routinely collected during clinical encounters and are impractical to...
Fidelity assessment of behaviour change interventions is vital to understanding trial outcomes. This study assesses the delivery fidelity of behaviour change techniques used in the Retirement in ACTio...
The delivery fidelity of intervention behaviour change techniques and delivery processes were assessed using multi-observer coding of purposively sampled in-vivo audio recordings (n = 25) of health be...
The mean intervention fidelity score was 2.5 (SD 0.45) with delivery fidelity varying between techniques/processes and intervention groups. Person-centred delivery, Facilitating Enjoyment and Promotin...
This study highlights successes and improvements needed to enhance delivery fidelity in future implementation of the behavioural maintenance programme of the REACT intervention. Future training of REA...
