Summary

The investigators are developing a new, preventative physical therapy model of care for older adults called Mobility Checkup (MC). Proposed as an annual visit, the MC includes measurement of physical performance and education regarding the importance of maintaining mobility for overall health. The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility of and begin data collection for, a longitudinal study of the effectiveness of the Mobility Checkup with a small cohort. This activity will evaluate the feasibility of recruitment and implementation of this longitudinal effectiveness study.

Mobility Checkup for older adults

The Mobility Checkup (MC) for older adults is a 45-minute preventative physical therapy visit designed to maintain mobility during aging. It has two parts, measurement (25 minutes) and education (20 minutes). The 5 standardized measures of physical performance in the MC are Walking speed, single leg stance time (balance), Five rep sit to stand (muscular endurance, transitions), 6-meter walk test (general endurance), and Timed up from floor test (transitions). Participants are provided education structured into 4 elements. 1. They are told their performance scores 2. They are shown how their performance scores on each of the measures compare to age and sex-referenced normative values 3. They are provided information about what their performance predicts about their health 4. They are referred to an appropriate provider if there was a health or safety concern during their MC or they are educated to follow the recommendations for physical activity that are recommended by the CDC.
