Brief Summary:
The aging of the global population presents significant social and health challenges In Aragón 15 of the population is between 65 and 79 years old and the over-aging index is 166 higher than the national average This aging necessitates promoting healthy aging and maintaining functional capacity in advanced ages Currently 15 of the Aragonese population is potentially dependent a figure that rises to 26 among those over 85 years old The decline in functional capacity is due to auditory visual joint and proprioceptive issues resulting in increased vulnerability to falls which are a significant cause of death among the elderly
The frailty syndrome although common with aging is not inevitable and is characterized by the loss of functional capacity and increased risk of falls and hospitalization To assess this capacity in frail individuals specific tools like the Mini-Motor Test the Morton Mobility Index and the Elderly Mobility Scale exist The BESTest developed in 2009 evaluates balance but is time-consuming to administer leading to the creation of a shorter version the Mini BESTest However both can be limiting for frail individuals
To address these limitations the FrailBESTest was developed evaluating six balance subsystems and being suitable for frail individuals making it a valid and sensitive tool in clinical practice This research project aims to develop tools that identify balance problems in frail individuals with mild cognitive impairment allowing for specific interventions to reduce the risk of falls

Detailed Description:
This is a cross-sectional study consisting of two phases In the first phase the linguistic-transcultural validation of the FrailBESTest will be carried out in a population which we will call group A which will be made up of people over 65 years of age who live in a community who do not present cognitive impairment and whose physical functional state is preserved
In a second phase of the study the validity and reliability of the test will be analysed in frail institutionalised people with mild cognitive impairment For this purpose frail people with mild cognitive impairment group B and frail people with no cognitive impairment group C all of them over 65 years of age will be selected
In a second phase of the study the validity and reliability of the test will be analysed in frail institutionalised people with mild cognitive impairment For this purpose frail people with mild cognitive impairment group B and frail people with no cognitive impairment group C all of them over 65 years of age will be selected
