The rationale for the development and the intent for use of a research agenda for the Academy of Geriatric Physical Therapy is described. The reasons for the research agenda for geriatric physical therapy are (1) to have a broad representation of the research conducted by physical therapist(s) working with older adults, (2) to provide guidance and assistance to emerging investigators to aid the trajectory of a research career, and (3) as a document to engage potential funding agencies, foundations, and individuals in support of physical therapist-conducted research. The design was based on the Research Agenda for Physical Therapy (APTA document), formatted to be consistent with the World Health Organization International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health, priority ratings for the research statements, and specific examples of research questions for each category of the Research Agenda. The Academy of Geriatric Physical Therapy Research Agenda generated to be a living document, with revisions to research questions and priority ratings expected in the future to enable the agenda to adapt to changes in science, practice, workforce, education, and health policy.
本文介绍了老年物理治疗学院研究议程制定的背景和使用意图。制定老年物理治疗研究议程的原因如下：(1) 广泛代表物理治疗师（s）与老年人合作开展的研究；(2) 为新出现的研究人员提供指导和帮助，以促进研究职业的发展；(3) 作为一份文件，争取潜在的资助机构、基金会和个人支持物理治疗师开展的研究。该设计基于物理治疗研究议程（APTA 文件），格式与世界卫生组织国际功能、残疾和健康分类一致，对研究陈述进行优先评级，并为研究议程的每个类别提供具体的研究问题示例。老年物理治疗学院研究议程旨在成为一份活的文件，预计未来将对研究问题和优先评级进行修订，以使该议程能够适应科学、实践、劳动力、教育和卫生政策的变化。
