Abstract
Abstract Aim: To design an index that categorizes older people according to motor and cognitive functions. Materials and methods: An analytical cross-sectional study assessing 38 older people (over 65 years) was performed to design a cognitive-motor outpatient index using the Mini-Mental State Examination, the motor memory test (MMT) and the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test by principal component analysis. Results: Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin values indicated that the sample was adequate. The index resulted in one factor accounting for 100% of the variance. The correlation between index values was −0.829 with the TUG test and 0.815 with the MMT. Cutoff points of the scores obtained from the regression method were: 20% (−0.745), 40% (−0.136), 60% (0.428) and 80% (0.949). Conclusions: The cognitive-motor outpatient index could be used to categorize older people based on motor function and cognitive function; moreover, the index facilitates the evaluation and follow-up of this population by clinicians and researchers.
期刊介绍：
This comprehensive journal is recognized for its useful balance of research and clinical practice articles. For more than twenty five years Physical & Occupational Therapy in Geriatrics has functioned as a forum for allied health professionals as well as others with a focus on rehabilitation of the geriatric client to share information, clinical experience, research, and therapeutic practice. Each issue focuses on current practice and emerging issues in the care of the older client, including rehabilitation and long-term care in institutional and community settings, and innovative programming; the entire range of problems experienced by the elderly; and the current skills needed for working with older clients.
