Identifying and Addressing Frailty
At The Straits Geriatric Centre, we understand that ageing is about more than just getting older it’s about maintaining the strength and energy to enjoy life to its fullest.
That’s why our Strength & Frailty Check is designed to gently evaluate your physical resilience and help you or your loved one stay active, independent, and full of vitality.
Think of this as a supportive tune-up for your body, helping you identify areas that may need a little extra care so you can continue doing the things you love whether it’s gardening, walking with friends, or simply keeping up with daily routines.
Understanding a Strength & Frailty Check
A Strength & Frailty Check helps identify early signs of frailty by assessing muscle strength, endurance, and resilience. It’s a gentle process that guides practical steps like tailored exercises or lifestyle changes to support independence, improve strength, and make daily life easier.
