Motor and Nonmotor Measures and Declining Daily Physical Activity in Older Adults
Findings of this study suggest that sensor-derived mobility metrics and conventional motor variables compared with nonmotor measures explained most of the variance of declining daily physical activity. Further studies are needed to ascertain whether improving specific motor abilities, such as turning speed and hand dexterity, is effective in slowing the decline of daily physical activity in older adults.
