Analysis of the Correspondence of the Degree of Fragility with the Way to Exercise the Force of the Hand.

Background: Frailty is a geriatric syndrome characterized by increased individual vulnerability with an increase in both dependence and mortality when exposed to external stressors. The use of Frailty Indices in routine clinical practice is limited by several factors, such as the cognitive status of the patient, times of consultation, or lack of prior information from the patient.

Objectives: In this study, we propose the generation of an objective measure of frailty, based on the signal from hand grip strength (HGS).
