First seen May 02, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at whether counting daily steps can be a simple, low-cost way to measure frailty in older adults (65+) who are in the hospital. Researchers will track 120 participants' upright time and step counts, and compare them with standard frailty tests. The goal is to see if step counts can predict outcomes like length of stay, readmission, and recovery.
