Clinical Applications

Used across clinical settings and community programs

SPPB-based physical performance assessment is supported by international guidelines across a wide range of conditions and settings related to older adult health.

Sarcopenia & Frailty

Standard physical function measure in EWGSOP2, FNIH Sarcopenia Project, and AWGS 2019 guidelines. Primary outcome in sarcopenia drug and exercise intervention trials.

WHO ICOPE

Included for locomotor capacity screening in the WHO ICOPE framework for integrated care of older people in community settings worldwide.

Oncology (CGA)

Recommended by ESMO/SIOG (2021) and ASCO guidelines as part of comprehensive geriatric assessment and toxicity risk stratification for older cancer patients.

Cardiac Rehabilitation

Included in JCS/JACR guidelines for lower-limb functional assessment and mobility evaluation during cardiac rehabilitation programs.

Degenerative Disease Monitoring

Applied to objectively track functional recovery following epidural steroid injections (ESI) and in patients with chronic musculoskeletal and spinal conditions.

Large-Scale Cohorts

Used in NHANES, KLHAS, NHS, and SPRINT to track functional trajectories and health outcomes across aging populations in multiple countries.
