dc.description.abstractDESPITE THE CENTRALITY OF THE DIFFICULTY CONCEPT IN THE STUDY OF DISABILITY, THERE HAS BEEN LITTLE RESEARCH ON ITS SIGNIFICANCE FROM THE POINT OF VIEW OF PEOPLE WITH FUNCTIONAL LIMITATIONS. THE MAIN OBJECTIVE OF THIS STUDY WAS TO DESCRIBE WHAT OLDER PEOPLE UNDERSTAND WHEN ASKED ABOUT DIFFICULTY IN UNDERTAKING MOBILITY ACTIVITIES. AS A SECONDARY OBJECTIVE, WE CONSIDERED WHETHER THERE ARE ANY DIFFERENCES DEPENDING ON THE TYPE OF ACTIVITIES, ACCORDING TO THE INTERNATIONAL CLASSIFICATION OF FUNCTIONING (ICF) MOBILITY DOMAINS. METHODS SEVENTEEN COMMUNITY-DWELLING MEN AND WOMEN AGED 70 YEARS OLD OR OVER WERE INTERVIEWED BY MEANS OF A QUESTIONNAIRE CONTAINING 55 ITEMS COVERING THE ICF MOBILITY DOMAINS. THE PARTICIPANTS RESPONDED TO THE ITEMS WHILE THINKING ALOUD, SAYING WHAT LED THEM TO GIVE A SPECIFIC ANSWER ABOUT THEIR LEVEL OF DIFFICULTY. INDUCTIVE CONTENT ANALYSIS WAS CONDUCTED AND CATEGORIES, SUBTHEMES AND THEMES WERE IDENTIFIED. RESULTS CAUSES OF DIFFICULTY (PATHOLOGIES, IMPAIRMENTS, SYMPTOMS) AND ACCOMMODATIONS (TASK MODIFICATIONS AND USE OF AIDS) WERE THE TWO THEMES IDENTIFIED; AND THEIR IMPORTANCE (AND THAT OF THE SUBTHEMES INCLUDED) VARIED ACROSS THE TYPES OF ACTIVITY. ALL THE PARTICIPANTS SAID THAT THEY HAD NO DIFFICULTY IN AT LEAST ONE TASK, DESPITE MENTIONING CHANGES IN THE WAY THEY PERFORMED THEM. CONCLUSIONS OLDER PEOPLE'S OPINIONS WERE CONSISTENT WITH THEORETICAL MODELS OF DISABILITY AND WITH THE STANDARD PRACTICE OF MEASURING FUNCTIONAL LIMITATIONS BY ASKING ABOUT THE DEGREE OF DIFFICULTY; HOWEVER, THE DESIGN OF THESE MEASURES NEEDS TO BE IMPROVED IN ORDER TO DETECT PERCEPTIONS OF NO DIFFICULTY IN THE PRESENCE OF TASK MODIFICATION.
