Frailty assessment in emergency medicine using the Clinical Frailty Scale: a scoping review.

Background: Frailty is a common condition present in older Emergency Department (ED) patients that is associated with poor health outcomes. The Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) is a tool that measures frailty on a scale from 1 (very fit) to 9 (terminally ill). The goal of this scoping review was to describe current use of the CFS in emergency medicine and to identify gaps in research.

Psychometric properties of life-space mobility measures in community-dwelling older adults: a systematic review protocol.

Introduction: Mobility is one of the most important contributors to healthy aging and is traditionally measured through performance-based tests. Measuring life-space mobility is a holistic way to measure the spaces individuals visited over a period of time versus what they are physically able to do. However, before a measure of life-space mobility can be widely used in research and clinical settings, it must have robust psychometric properties.

Intervention-related factors associated with physical activity maintenance among post-stroke patients: a protocol for a systematic review with meta-analysis and meta-regression.

Objective: The aim of this review is to i) evaluate the effectiveness of current rehabilitation interventions in promoting short-, moderate-, and long-term physical activity maintenance among patients post-stroke, and ii) to investigate the intervention characteristics associated with the promotion of physical activity maintenance among patients post-stroke.

Introduction: Physical activity and exercise can positively impact post-stroke recovery. However, few patients participate in the recommended levels of physical activity after a stroke.
