Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This cross-sectional, comparative study aims to examine the intra-rater reliability, validity, and feasibility of tele-assessment versions of three functional mobility tests-the Timed Up and Go (TUG), 30-second Sit-to-Stand (30sSTS), and Gait Speed Test (GST)-in community-dwelling older adults (≥65 years). To provide a comparative perspective, the same assessments will also be administered to a younger, healthy control group (18-44 years). The study seeks to determine whether tele-assessment can serve as a robust and practical alternative to in-person testing, thereby enhancing accessibility and ensuring high-quality functional evaluation in geriatric populations.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Primary Cohort: Older Adults

Primary Cohort (Older adults) included individuals aged ≥65 years, living independently in the community, without severe cognitive, visual, or musculoskeletal impairments that would prevent participation.

No interventions assigned to this group

Comparison Cohort: Young Adults

Comparison Cohort (Young Adults) included healthy individuals aged 18-44 years, without acute or chronic health conditions affecting mobility.

No interventions assigned to this group
