Predictivity of daily gait speed using tri-axial accelerometers for two-year incident disability among Japanese older adults

Abstract Gait speed is an important indicator of functional decline in older adults. Recently, daily gait speed has been assessed using accelerometers. However, it is unclear whether this parameter can predict the decline in functional abilities. This study investigates whether daily gait speed can...
