Overview: Nearly one-quarter of Canadians above the age 65 are frail and by the age 85, this estimate increases to over 40%. Hallmark signs and symptoms of physical frailty include reduced strength, endurance, walking speed, weight, and physical activity (“frailty phenotype”. Sarcopenia —a progressive and generalized loss of skeletal muscle mass and function – is considered a key component of frailty which causes or exacerbates a decline in physical function including a person’s ability to move around their environment and complete everyday tasks. We hypothesized that dance could be a promising therapeutic activity for older adults living with a loss of physical function arising from frailty and sarcopenia.
