“…The threshold CS-PFP TFP score, referred to as physical reserve, has been identified as >57 (Moore-Harrison, Speer, Johnson, & Cress, 2008). Physical reserve is an individual's physiologic capacity in excess of that required to perform daily tasks (Petrella & Cress, 2004).…”

“…The WCM may help nurses collect and assess information, suggest suitable interventions, and guide decisionmaking among sick older adults. For example, a patient's QoL could be increased by focusing nursing interventions on the assessment of depression, on a patient's ability to deal with depressive symptoms, for example, cognitive therapy (Puentes, 2004), on supporting improvement of physical functioning by physical training (Moore-Harrison, Speer, Johnson, & Cress, 2008), and on identifying issues that affect general health satisfaction, for example, by investigating the meaning of health (Idler et al, 1999) and adjusting to changes in health (Carr, Gibson, & Robinson, 2001).…”

The aim of this study was to explore how depressive symptoms, physical function, health satisfaction, age, and environmental conditions predict quality of life (QoL) in a conceptual model based on the Wilson and Cleary's Model (WCM). A stratified sample by age, gender, and living area was drawn from the Norwegian population of older adults receiving community health care (mean age of 78.6 years, 94.4% living at home, 5.6% living in nursing homes). The study is part of a larger international study. Face-to-face interviews were conducted using the WHOQoL-Old, the WHOQoL-Bref Environment domain, the Geriatric Depression Scale, the Short Form SF-12, and sociodemographic and health questions. A path analysis (structural equation modeling) showed that the overall model provided empirical evidence for linkages in the WCM. QoL was manifested by significant direct effects of environmental conditions and health satisfaction. In addition, environmental conditions had indirect effects on QoL, in particular via depressive symptoms and health satisfaction. This model may help nurses in community health care to collect and assess information, to suggest suitable interventions, and to guide decision making.

“…Increased daily walking has been shown to improve quadriceps muscle strength and functional performance in older people with osteoarthritis (22). Short term walking programmes have been shown to improve aerobic capacity and dynamic balance amongst healthy community-dwelling older adults (23,24).…”

The role of physical activity amongst older people in inpatient rehabilitation settings has been little studied. Walking has a number of potential benefits for older people in rehabilitation but it is not known whether increased walking improves outcomes in this population. Until now mobility monitoring has not been possible in routine practice. Recently tri-axial accelerometers have been validated for ambulatory activity monitoring in older adults. Accelerometry has the potential to explore the role of walking in older patients in rehabilitation. Providing data regarding activity levels may improve patient motivation and assist clinicians with activity prescription. Future research could determine the relationship between activity levels and patient outcomes.
