Clinical Trial Summary

This study evaluates the reliability of the French version of the "elderly mobility scale" and its correlation with the "frailty elderly scale "

Description:

The research question:

How to effectively measure the physical independence of the elderly at home and how, from this measure, the investigators can determine the fragility threshold of the elderly.

The elderly mobility scale measures the critical points of the patient's physical autonomy. This scale was developed in Great Britain. The purpose of this study is to establish the reliability of this French version scale and to study the correlation with the elderly scale fragility.

People are recruited by a Medical consultant. After consent, their frailty is measured and a prescription is done to see a Physical therapist. The physical therapist will evaluate the physical points measured/ mentioned in the Elderly Mobility Scale, twice in a week, with two different assessors.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

• Cognition impairment

• all acute problems with an impairment of mobility

Related Conditions & MeSH terms

• Frail Elderly
• Functionally-Impaired Elderly
• Locomotor Activity

Intervention

Other:
• Elderly Mobility Scale
The Elderly Mobility Scale was devised to assess the mobility of fragile elderly people, and contains seven items considered as essential for performing the basic activities of the daily routine: Lying down to sitting, sitting to lying down, sitting to standing, standing, Gait/ work on body posture, timed walk (6 meters) and work on Functional Reach/movements?
• Frailty scale
6 questions are asked to the person about his or her living conditions to determine the level of frailty. The scale is produced by the board "High Health Authority"
