Older Adults (65 Years and Older)NCT07235267
Reliability and Validity of Tele-Assessment for Functional Performance in Older vs. Younger Adults
An observational study of Older Adults (65 Years and Older) and Geriatric Health, run by Istanbul University - Cerrahpasa at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).
Trial summary
This cross-sectional, comparative study aims to examine the intra-rater reliability, validity, and feasibility of tele-assessment versions of three functional mobility tests-the Timed Up and Go (TUG), 30-second Sit-to-Stand (30sSTS), and Gait Speed Test (GST)-in community-dwelling older adults (≥65 years).

About this study
Official title: Establishing the Reliability and Validity of Tele-Assessment for Functional Performance in Older Adults: A Comparative Study With Younger Individuals
This cross-sectional, comparative study aims to examine the intra-rater reliability, validity, and feasibility of tele-assessment versions of three functional mobility tests-the Timed Up and Go (TUG), 30-second Sit-to-Stand (30sSTS), and Gait Speed Test (GST)-in community-dwelling older adults (≥65 years). To provide a comparative perspective, the same assessments will also be administered to a younger, healthy control group (18-44 years). The study seeks to determine whether tele-assessment can serve as a robust and practical alternative to in-person testing, thereby enhancing accessibility and ensuring high-quality functional evaluation in geriatric populations.
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Primary Cohort: Older Adults | Primary Cohort (Older adults) included individuals aged ≥65 years, living independently in the community, without severe cognitive, visual, or musculoskeletal impairments that would prevent participation. | |
| Comparison Cohort: Young Adults | Comparison Cohort (Young Adults) included healthy individuals aged 18-44 years, without acute or chronic health conditions affecting mobility. |
