| Annotation | Refinement of the traditional task-based classification of disability is needed to advance the field of disability research, and to inform clinical practice. The authors propose an enhancement of the taxonomy of disability that incorporates information about symptoms and impairments that directly contribute to disability. In the first step of this new development, they present evidence from the US Women's Health and Aging Study (WHAS) to support five categories of disability related to pain, balance, weakness, endurance, and other symptoms.
