New scale aims to better assess mobility in elderly patients
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.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- GRAMPA scale (a motor ability assessment tool)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a reliable, comprehensive tool for assessing basic movements in elderly patients, helping tailor care and rehabilitation.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study (55 participants) focused on reliability, not treatment. The scale may not prove useful or generalizable beyond this specific hospital setting.
