A growing collection of research, analysis and practical perspectives informing how Kinegrade approaches physical-function measurement.
The scientific evidence informing Kinegrade’s approach to physical-function measurement
Explore the research behind standardized assessment, longitudinal measurement, physical performance and remote functional testing.
Why snapshots are not enough to understand physical function
A single assessment tells you where someone is today. Longitudinal measurement helps reveal where they are going.
Reassessment is not administration. It is part of the measurement.
Even a validated assessment loses much of its value if it is not repeated consistently enough to reveal meaningful change.
Remote assessment of physical function in older people
Evidence on the feasibility, safety and agreement of selected remote physical-function assessments compared with in-person testing.
Validation of smartphone accelerometry for sit-to-stand performance
Smartphone-derived sit-to-stand measurements showed close agreement with laboratory reference measurements in older adults.
Sarcopenia: revised European consensus on definition and diagnosis
EWGSOP2 places muscle strength at the forefront of sarcopenia assessment and discusses established measures of physical performance.
Gait speed and survival in older adults
Large pooled longitudinal data helped establish gait speed as an informative measure of overall physical function in older adults.
A new infrastructure for measuring physical function over time
See how Kinegrade is being designed to connect standardized assessments, reassessments, patient progress and clinical workflows.
Physical function is multidimensional. Measurement should be too.
Strength, mobility, balance, endurance and power describe different dimensions of physical capacity. One number rarely tells the whole story.
Making muscle health measurable
Why physical-function measurement remains fragmented, why longitudinal data matters, and what infrastructure could make measurement easier to scale.
