Reliability and Validity of the Elderly Mobility Scale, French Version

Completed

• Conditions: Frail Elderly; Locomotor Activity; Functionally-Impaired Elderly

• Registration Number: NCT03008135
• Lead Sponsor: Pole Santé Plouasne Saint Pern Becherel

Brief Summary

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

Detailed 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.
