Relationship between the 25-question Geriatric Locomotive Function Scale and physical function in the elderly people.

Introduction: Locomotive syndrome (LS) is a condition of reduced mobility. The LS stage can be determined by the stand-up test, two-step test, and 25-question geriatric locomotive function scale (GLFS-25). This study aimed to establish whether the LS stage can be reliably determined using the GLFS-25, and to clarify the correlation between the GLFS-25's six subcategories and physical functions.
