NCT ID NCT07236866
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing a new scale called GRAMPA that measures how well elderly hospital patients can perform basic movements like sitting up, standing, and walking. Researchers want to see if two different therapists give similar scores for the same patient. The study involves 55 people aged 75 and older in a French hospital.
