• Improvement in Usual Gait Speed Predicts Better Survival in Older Adults (2007, background): “Organized clinical assessments of contributors to walking speed target the cardiopulmonary, musculoskeletal, and neurological systems.(33,34) Gait speed can be a target for intervention through medical, rehabilitative, and healthpromoting behavioral strategies.”
