Description
Mohammad Hosseinalizadeh, Mehran Asghari, and Nima Toosizadeh test a wrist device for frailty checks in a 2024 study. Their method uses a short arm test: twenty seconds of fast elbow bends. A Fitbit and a lab motion sensor were worn together so the two could be compared on the same moves.
Forty-two young adults took part, doing sets with and without a weight. For motion measures such as speed and weakness, the Fitbit matched the lab sensor very well. For heart rate, mean levels matched fairly well, but fast rises and falls during effort matched poorly. Readers learn the device suits motion-based frailty scores, while quick heart changes need better tools.
