The Relationship Between Physical Performance Measures and Independence in Instrumental Activities of Daily Living

OBJECTIVES: Understanding the relationship between physical capacity and functional status is required to design exercise interventions to maintain independent living. This study assessed the importance of physical performance in maintaining independence in Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL).
