Cotillard gives an amazing performance: frail and, at times, bent (Piaf suffered from arthritis), she can look terrified and vicious simultaneously, and she goes all the way with the writer-director Olivier Dahan's concept, which emphasizes Piaf's suffering as a child and young woman and her monstrousness as an adult.
Single agent carboplatin is reserved for patients who are frail, of poor performance status or who wish to avoid the toxicities of the combination.
On the basis that frailty is a state of vulnerability to poor resolution of homeostasis following a stressor event, it is likely that older persons, hospitalized for an acute illness such as pneumonia or cardiac ischemia, would be identified as frail using these performance based measures.
Does progressive resistance training improve physical performance of frail elderly people who have had surgery for hip fracture?
Our objective was to assess the impact of 24 weeks of dietary protein supplementation on muscle mass, strength, and physical performance in frail elderly people.
Protein supplementation has been proposed as an effective dietary strategy to increase skeletal muscle mass and improve physical performance in frail elderly people.
Objective: To investigate whether simultaneous cognitive tasks influence maximal motor performance in frail geriatric patients with a history of injurious falls and different levels of cognitive function.
– Research question 2 - Which types of projects are associated with less decline of the functional and cognitive performance of frail older persons?
In the frail subgroup, the physical performance score was lower after the intervention, whereas there was a positive effect of the intervention on the physical performance score in the pre-frail subgroup.
Small changes in physiological capacity may have substantial effects on performance in frail adults, while large changes in strength can have little or no effect on daily function in healthy adults [ 19].
Buchner et al. first recognised a non-linear relationship between leg strength and usual gait speed; this relationship explained how small changes in physiological capacity may have substantial effects on performance in frail adults, while large changes in capacity have little or no effect in healthy adults [ 61].
