What the study found
This scoping review examines what definitions of physical resilience assume about systems, perturbations and time. The authors propose a more explicit conceptual framework to help align future measurement.
Scope & limitations
Scoping review of experimental and conceptual physical-resilience literature in gerontology and rehabilitation.
This conceptual proposal emphasizes definitions of systems, disturbances and recovery. Proposed measures and their applicability across domains require empirical study.
Population & sample
Scoping review of experimental and conceptual physical-resilience literature in gerontology and rehabilitation.
Exposure or intervention
Definitions of physical resilience and their underlying assumptions.
Outcomes
Conceptual coherence, domain boundaries and links between perturbation, recovery and whole-body function.
Time frame
