Article Synopsis
- The study focused on the rate of force development (RFD) in older patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD) to assess its reliability and validity as a measure of muscle contraction during rehabilitation.
- It involved 30 outpatients and 30 inpatients over the age of 76, measuring quadricep RFD at three different time intervals and evaluating physical performance with the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB).
- Results showed excellent reliability for RFD in older patients and a positive correlation between RFD values and physical function indicators, indicating RFD's potential effectiveness for assessing physical rehabilitation in this population.
