This study tests a new version of a questionnaire that measures social connections in older adults. The goal is to make sure the questionnaire works well for people living in the French West Indies.
This study will test a new team of specialized helpers who visit nursing homes to assist with complex medical and personal care needs. If you are 70 or older and have certain common older-age problems (like falls, memory issues, or trouble managing multiple health conditions), this mobile team may be able to help coordinate your care right where you live.
This study validates a new tool called the New Mobility Score that measures how well older adults recover their ability to move after hip fracture surgery. Researchers are testing whether this French version accurately reflects patients' real-world mobility and recovery.
This study observes how people with chronic health conditions affect their ability to move and do everyday activities. It may help researchers better understand mobility limits and what factors influence them.
This trial tests a personalized health plan to help older adults who are frail stay well and improve their quality of life over two years. If you are 70 or older, living at home, and your doctor says you are frail, this study may offer extra support.
This study looks at using a simple physical test (walking 5 meters) along with frailty and mental status checks to help decide when older adults can safely leave the hospital. It aims to improve discharge recommendations.
