Background
To describe life-space mobility and explore associations of motor and non-motor symptoms with life-space mobility in people with Parkinson’s disease (PD).
Methods
About 164 community-dwelling persons with PD (mean age 71.6 years, 64.6% men) received a postal survey and a subsequent home visit. Motor assessments included perceived walking difficulties (Walk-12G), mobility (Timed Up and Go test), motor symptoms (UPDRS-III), and freezing of gait (item 3, FOG-Qsa). Non-motor symptoms included depressive symptoms (GDS-15), pain, fatigue (NHP-EN), and global cognition (MoCA). Life-space mobility was assessed with the life-space assessment (LSA). Calculations included composite score (range 0–120; higher indicating better life-space mobility), independent life-space (range 0–5), assisted life-space (range 0–5), and maximal life-space (range 0–5). Associations were analyzed with linear regression models, adjusted for age, sex, and PD severity (Hoehn and Yahr).
Results
Mean life-space mobility score was 72.3 (SD = 28.8). Almost all participants (90%) reached the highest life-space level (beyond town). Half of these reached this level independently, while one-third were unable to move outside their bedroom without assistive devices or personal help. When adjusted for confounders, depressive symptoms, pain, and perceived walking difficulties was negatively associated with life-space mobility. In the multivariable model, only perceived walking difficulties were associated with life-space mobility.
Conclusions
Our findings indicate that perceived walking difficulties should be targeted to maintain or improve life-space mobility in people with PD. Depressive symptoms and pain may also merit consideration. More research is needed to elucidate the role of environmental and personal factors for life-space mobility in PD.

Associations of hearing difficulties, life-space mobility, quality of life and depressive symptoms among older adults
Polku, Hannele (Jyväskylän yliopisto, 2020)Difficulty in hearing is common among older adults and may complicate engagement in everyday life situations, thereby reducing quality of life. In this study, I examined cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between ... -
Timed up-and-go performance is associated with objectively measured life space in patients 3 months after ischemic stroke : a cross-sectional observational study

Task Modifications in Walking Postpone Decline in Life-Space Mobility Among Community-Dwelling Older People: A 2-year Follow-up Study
Rantakokko, Merja; Portegijs, Erja; Viljanen, Anne; Iwarsson, Susanne; Rantanen, Taina (Gerontological Society of America; Oxford University Press, 2017)Background Task modification refers to performing a task differently than before. While task modification in walking may be a sign of looming walking difficulty, it may also be adaptive in and postpone the decline in ... -
