Pre-Frailty Screening Measures

Please provide any recent TUG, 5xSTS, 4-Metre Walk Test and Grip Strength results. These measures help us understand how the participant was identified for referral, assess frailty risk, and establish a baseline for the Summit Strong Program.

(1) Five times sit to stand test (5xSTS) in seconds> or 11 seconds = low muscle strength and function

(2) Handgrip strength in kgIndividuals over 65 years old, the Australian standard criteria for low grip strength (indicating probable sarcopenia) Men <27 and Women <16

(3) 4 Meter Walk Test (Gait Speed) in m/sGait speed in (m/s). Gait speed of longer than 5 seconds to walk 4 metres (<0.8 m/s) suggests an increased risk of frailty).

(4) Timed up and go (TUG) in secondsRecording in seconds: An older adult who takes ≥12 seconds to complete the TUG is at risk for falling

Hospital Admissions or Emergency Department Presentations

Tracking these outcomes before and after participation helps Summit Strong evaluate its effectiveness in supporting healthy ageing, maintaining independence, and reducing avoidable healthcare utilisation.
