Zusammenfassung:Abstract Objective To identify the neuromuscular attributes that are associated with self-reported mobility status among older primary care patients. Design Cohort study. Setting Metropolitan-based health care system. Participants Community-dwelling primary care patients aged ≥65 years (N=430), with self-reported modification of mobility tasks resulting from underlying health conditions. Interventions Not applicable. Main Outcome Measures Basic and Advanced Lower Extremity Function as measured by the Late Life Function and Disability Instrument. Results We constructed multivariable linear regression models evaluating both outcomes. For Basic Lower Extremity Function, leg strength, leg velocity, trunk extensor muscle endurance, and ankle range of motion (ROM) were statistically significant predictors ( P
