BandPass System for Sarcopenia and Functional Decline

This study is testing a new home-based strengthening program called the BandPass system for older adults at risk of sarcopenia (muscle loss) or frailty. The BandPass system uses a special resistance exercise band connected to a mobile app that gives you real-time feedback on your exercises. It also sends your progress to a clinician for remote monitoring. Researchers want to see if older adults can easily use this system at home and if it helps improve their physical abilities. You might be able to join if you are 65 or older, speak English, have internet access, and have certain scores on surveys about your strength and ability to move around. The main goal is to see how well people stick to using the BandPass system over 8 weeks.

Study design
This is an 8-week study with 39 participants, where everyone receives the BandPass system intervention. It is a single-arm trial, meaning there is no comparison group.
What's involved
You would use the BandPass system for a structured home-based strengthening program three times per week for 8 weeks. There will be initial in-person assessments and a virtual visit at Week 4.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
The primary endpoint, exercise adherence, is measured at 0, 4, and 8 weeks, indicating the study's duration for monitoring this aspect.

What this trial measures

  • Exercise Session Adherence to the Bandpass System0, 4, 8 weeks

    Exercise session adherence will be assessed as the percentage of prescribed BandPass-supported strengthening sessions completed by participants over the 8-week intervention period. Participants are prescribed three strengthening sessions per week. Adherence will be calculated as: (number of completed sessions ÷ number of prescribed sessions) × 100. Adherence will be summarized at Weeks 4 and 8 to evaluate feasibility and continued use of the BandPass system among older adults.
