App Disclaimer
The GaitRate app assists with, but does not substitute for, proper clinical care. GaitRate measures gait speed, a common measure of physical function in aging. Use good judgement to determine if an individual can safely walk at the specified speed under testing conditions. GaitRate results are dependent on accurate measurement and input of distance. GaitRate’s median years-of-life remaining estimates are based on publicly-available, published, epidemiological research data.
