What this trial studies
This study evaluates the effectiveness of two different consultation methods for elderly individuals over 65 years old who can move independently. Participants will undergo the Five Times Sit To Stand test in two settings: first through a teleconsultation and then in a physical consultation, or vice versa. The study aims to determine which method yields better results and patient satisfaction. Follow-up assessments will track the number of falls over the next year.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are elderly individuals aged 65 and older who are capable of independent mobility.
Not a fit: Patients with significant mobility impairments or those unable to participate in the Five Times Sit To Stand test may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could improve the accessibility and effectiveness of mobility assessments for elderly patients.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promising results in teleconsultation approaches for elderly care, suggesting potential success for this method.
