Timed mobility: description of measurement, performance, and dimensionality among older adults.

CONCLUSION: The timed measurements of this study were easily obtained. They can be viewed as unidimensional and representative of a single construct of the international classification of functioning, disability, and health -timed mobility. Implications for rehabilitation For patients who are independent in mobility, timing offers a means of differentiating the performance of individual patients. As the times to complete five mobility activities are interrelated, mobility is supported as a rehabilitation construct and patients who are faster at one activity should be expected to be faster at another.
