Wearable device to monitor muscle loss in older adults
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a wearable device that tracks your movement at home to help spot early signs of muscle loss and frailty. If you are 65 or older and have some mobility concerns, this could help you stay independent longer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 65 or older and speak English.
- You can use a small wearable device (worn on the body) and have Wi-Fi internet at home.
- You have some signs of muscle weakness or frailty, like trouble walking, getting up from a chair, or a recent fall.
- You do not have dementia, serious memory problems, or a major psychiatric condition.
- You have not been in a nursing home or hospital in the past 3 months and are not receiving hospice care.

This study is testing a new digital system to help diagnose and manage sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss). It aims to make it easier for doctors to track and treat muscle loss, which can improve your strength and quality of life.
This trial uses a high-definition surface electromyography (HD-sEMG) device to see if it can help diagnose and track sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss). It may help find better ways to monitor muscle health in people aged 75 and older.
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.
This study uses a high-detail sensor placed on the skin to look for signs of sarcopenia, or age-related muscle loss. The goal is to see whether the scan can help diagnose sarcopenia more accurately.
This study tests if a smartphone program can help older adults at risk for muscle loss (sarcopenia) improve their strength and nutrition. You use an app to follow exercise and diet plans at home.
This study tests a computer program that uses artificial intelligence to help doctors diagnose sarcopenia (a loss of muscle mass and strength) from muscle images. If you are 65 or older and have concerns about your muscle function, you may be able to join and help improve how this condition is detected.
