๐Ÿšถโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ’จ Small Steps, Big Gains for Frail Adults! ๐Ÿ†๐Ÿ“ˆ

A new study in PLOS ONE shows that prefrail and frail older adults can safely increase walking cadence โ€” and that even a modest boost of +14 steps/min can raise the odds of hitting a clinically meaningful improvement in the 6-Minute Walk Test by ~10%.

๐Ÿ“Š High-intensity walking participants averaged 100 steps/min vs. 77 in casual walkers, with 65% achieving the Minimal Clinically Important Difference (MCID) in functional capacity.

๐Ÿ’ก Takeaway: Cadence is a practical, objective measure of walking intensity โ€” and a powerful lever to improve mobility in older adults.
