Abstract:
Exercise is an effective method for preventing disability in elderly adults.However, in order to ensure successful outcomes, it is crucial to conduct a scientific and comprehensive evaluation of motor function.Currently, several assessment systems for geriatric motor function have been developed, but most of them are based on research conducted with community-dwelling elderly individuals.When applying these community-based systems to elderly inpatients, certain challenges need to be addressed and overcome.This paper aims to synthesize several evaluation systems commonly used for functional assessment, focusing on those with comprehensive content, good reliability, and validity.It analyzes the limitations of these systems when applied to the hospitalized elderly population and proposes ways to address these shortcomings by incorporating other testing systems.The objective is to provide a reasonable foundation for functional evaluation in the context of hospitalized elderly individuals.
