Abstract
Mobility and its limitations play an important role in the quality of life of geriatric patients and influence activity and participation. The assessment of mobility is therefore of particular importance for treatment and treatment planning in geriatric patients. There is a variety of assessment tools that cannot be used in every patient group, e.g. due to floor effects. This article provides an overview of common assessment tools and facilitates the evaluation and use of these tools. Special consideration is given to performance-oriented aspects and current technical developments such as wearables.Entities:
