Summary
This study looked at whether a family member or caregiver can reliably assess an elderly person's mobility by answering questions based on short video clips. Researchers compared the answers from 60 patients and their surrogates to see if they matched. If this approach works, it could help assess mobility when the patient cannot be tested directly.
