Family videos may replace In-Person mobility tests for seniors

This study looked at whether a family member or caregiver can reliably assess an elderly person's mobility using a short video test. About 130 participants (60 patients and 60 family/caregivers) took part. Patients watched short video clips of tasks like walking or climbing and rated their ability, while their family member answered the same questions for them. The goal was to see if surrogate assessments match the patient's own report, which could help when direct testing is not possible.
