Home monitoring for weakness in older adults
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a wrist or ankle band can track physical activity and help spot early signs of weakness in older adults living at home. If you are 65+, speak English, and have some difficulty with mobility or strength, you may be able to help.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must speak English.
- You are 65 years or older.
- You are willing to wear and use a remote monitoring device (like a small band).
- You have high-speed Wi-Fi internet at home.
- You have some trouble with strength, walking, or daily activities (weakness or frailty).

This study tests if a home-based exercise program, supported by a smartphone or tablet, can help frail older adults get stronger and more independent. It may be a good fit if you are frail but can still walk and use a smart device.
This study tests whether using motion-sensing exercise games at home, guided by a family member or friend, can help older adults who are becoming frail stay more active and stronger. The program aims to make exercise fun and easier to do with support from someone you trust.
This study looks for the best ways to detect sarcopenia, which means age-related loss of muscle strength and mass, in older people in a hospital or care setting. It may help doctors spot muscle problems earlier so they can plan better care.
This trial aims to improve how frailty is detected in older adults. It tests a new approach to identify frailty early, which could help prevent health problems.
This study tests whether a community-based exercise program can improve physical function and reduce frailty and muscle loss in older adults. It may help participants become stronger, move more easily, and reduce fall risk.
This study looks at muscle changes in people with or at risk for sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss). It aims to find better ways to detect and manage sarcopenia using simple tests like muscle strength and body composition measurements.
