Methods: Subjects (>= 60 years) with physical disability related to neurological diseases, including 730 subjects with brain disease (BD) and 126 subjects with non-BD, were enrolled from a data bank of persons with disabilities from 1 July 2011 to 29 February 2012. Standardized WHODAS 2.0 scores ranging from 0 (least difficulty) to 100 (greatest difficulty) points were calculated for each domain. Results: More than 50% of subjects with physical disability had the greatest difficulty in household activities and mobility. Muscle power impairment (adjusted odds ratios range among domains, 2.75-376.42, p<0.001), age (1.38-4.81, p<0.05), and speech impairment (1.94-5.80, p<0.05) were associated with BD subjects experiencing the greatest difficulty in most WHODAS 2.0 domains. But a few associated factors were identified for the non-BD group in the study. Conclusions: Although the patterns of difficulty in most daily activities were similar between the BD and non-BD groups, factors associated with the difficulties differed between those two groups. Muscle power impairment, age and speech impairment were important factors associated with difficulties in subjects with BD-related physical disability.Muscle power functionsolder adultsphysical disabilityWHODAS 2.0[SDGs]SDG3aged; brain disease; complication; daily life activity; disability; disabled person; female; human; male; muscle; muscle strength; odds ratio; pathophysiology; quality of life; regression analysis; rehabilitation; speech; Taiwan; very elderly; Activities of Daily Living; Aged; Aged, 80 and over; Brain Diseases; Disability Evaluation; Disabled Persons; Female; Humans; Male; Muscle Strength; Muscles; Odds Ratio; Quality of Life; Regression Analysis; Speech; Taiwan10.3109/09638288.2014.940428
