Clinical Medicine: Geriatrics, 07/02/09
Karnik K et al. - This article aims to take an holistic approach by reviewing current and emerging tools and technologies available to assess multi-system functional impairment in older adults. Several widely-used indices of frailty, tests of physical function, and questionnaires to assess quality of daily life, nutritional status and mental and emotional functioning in older adults will be discussed in brief. Finally one emerging technology, accelerometry, which may enable the early diagnosis of loss of functional capacity as well as provide the ability to objectively quantify the degree of deficit in both clinical and non-clinical environments, will be described.
