Four sarcopenia checks from the Asian guideline (AWGS 2019) you can do at home: the finger-ring test and calf size, SARC-F (4 or more), five chair stands (12 s or more) and a 6 m walk (under 1.0 m/s), and what helps.
Check fall risk at home in three steps: the three STEADI questions and 12-question checklist (4 points or more), the Timed Up and Go (12 s or more) and walking speed, then a room-by-room and winter safety check.
What a gait analysis app for older adults and physiotherapists should measure, what walking speed and step length mean, two real walks compared, and a routine that shows real change.
A free, printable Timed Up and Go score sheet: set-up, instructions to read aloud, results and observation checklist, age norms, published cut-offs and a repeat log, in two A4 pages.
