Gotcha. So with the >.1 m/s cut off, this indicates that the individual is more likely to discharge directly to home vs. a SNF? I think my perspective is skewed because I work in IPR, so I use this gait speed cut off to inform my home vs. SNF discharge from IPR. Also hard to picture that he would make large gains during a 1-3 day acute rehab stay at 80+ years old to get him beyond a gait speed that didn’t place him at increased risk for adverse events and hospital readmission, but I don’t work in the acute setting either so maybe that is more frequent than I think. This is a very tricky question to answer without more information!
