The research question

What functional mobility pattern is associated with frailty or pre-frailty in this person, and how is it changing over time?

A complementary functional assessment for frailty and pre-frailty focused on mobility, gait, transitions and physical-activity patterns. It complements, rather than replaces, validated geriatric frailty assessment.

ParticipantsOlder adults undergoing geriatric or functional assessment.
Minimum sampleIndividual clinical assessment: N = 1. Research cohorts: sample size defined by the study design.
DurationIndividual assessment and optional longitudinal monitoring.

02

Run sit-to-stand, turning and Timed Up and Go.

03

Add activity monitoring when appropriate.

04

Quantify slowness, variability and transition performance.

05

Compare longitudinally during intervention or follow-up.

Scientific configuration

The method follows the question

Technology is selected because it is scientifically appropriate for the research objective, not because a device must be used. Santiago configures the study scope, stimuli, participant flow and measurement path before execution.
