Thirty people aged 64 and over living at home were asked to complete a "life-space diary" for 1 month during which they were invited to attend a gait laboratory for measurements of gait and balance. Twenty-eight subjects completed the diary satisfactorily, and 24 of these also undertook the laboratory tests. The diary was acceptable and gave a good indication of the subject's mobility. There was a close correlation between mobility as derived from the diary and the laboratory measurements of gait speed and mean sway path. The diary is worthy of further evaluation as an objective record of mobility in old people at home.
30名64岁及以上的居家老人被要求在1个月内完成一份“生活空间日记”，在此期间，他们被邀请前往步态实验室进行步态和平衡测量。28名受试者圆满完成了日记，其中24人还进行了实验室测试。该日记是可以接受的，并且很好地反映了受试者的活动能力。日记得出的活动能力与实验室测量的步态速度和平均摆动路径之间存在密切相关性。作为居家老年人活动能力的客观记录，该日记值得进一步评估。
