Abstract
Frailty in Older Adults
● Frailty is a health condition that effects increasing numbers of the population past the age of 65
● The modified Physical Performance Test (mPPT) is a test that assesses multiple dimensions of physical function with different levels of difficulty. It has been shown to assess frailty in an older adult population.
● Due to health care barriers, it may be advantageous to assess individuals via telehealth.
● It is critical to determine the concurrent validity of telehealth delivery of mPPT with that of a clinical setting to determine if it can increase access to care
