Abstract
This study examined the effect of a prescribed walker on functional performance and explored the personal experiences of four community-dwelling older adults with impaired mobility. A mixed method sequential explanatory design was used with a repeated case study approach. Standardized measures of timed mobility, balance confidence, and participation were collected twice, one month apart, followed by a one-on-one, semistructured interview. The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health framework was used to integrate quantitative and qualitative data and promote an understanding of the interactions among contributing factors to the impact and use of a walker in four “real” clinical practice scenarios. The findings suggest the need for rehabilitation professionals to explore a range of personal, performance, and environmental factors to optimize adoption of a walker into daily life by community-dwelling older adults.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
