Sponsor's own description

Mobility loss in older people is caused by a variety of aging impairments in various body systems.The disability, which includes physical impairments and resulting activity limitations or participation restrictions, can arise acutely from a catastrophic illness or, more commonly, from subacute functional decline without a clear triggering event. Lower physical functioning was associated with higher healthcare utilization and expenditures, leading to a large burden on government-funded healthcare services. Early identification of mobility changes and intervening in them would likely be the most effective strategy to reduce the burden of disability in the population. Overall, there is a need to develop strategies to reduce disability among older adults in which kinetic and kinematic characteristics are used to predict disability status. Accordingly, the purpose of this prospective cohort is to identify biomechanical parameters, from the gait, sit-to-stand, timed up and go, stair ascend and descend, and quiet standing functional tasks, as predictors of changes in health and disability status in older adults. This research was funded by Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia (FCT), NORTE 2020, and European Social Fund of European Union, grant number 2020.05356.BD and through R\&D Units funding (UIDB/05210/2020), Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia (FCT), Portugal and the European Union.
