Description

Mobility disability is the most prevalent form of disability for older adults in the United States. A physical therapy mobility checkup (MC) under development is a patient-centered preventative physical therapy visit. It includes physical performance testing and education on physical performance as a valuable and modifiable health indicator. The purpose of this study was to identify the proportion of older adults willing to participate in an MC, the age at which they would initiate care, their desired frequency of participation, and the characteristics, or attributes, of the MC they preferred.
