What is a Clinically Meaningful Improvement in Leg-Extensor Power for Mobility-limited Older Adults?

Conclusions: This is the first study to establish a clinically meaningful improvement of leg-extensor power (9%–10%) and velocity (6%–7%) in mobility-limited older adults. These findings should be used to aid in the design and interpretation of clinical trials and interventions that target improvements in muscle power in this high-risk population.
