Mike | Initial Physical Assessment

In this video, you can see Mike’s initial physical assessment as part of the Empowered Ageing Case Study. Mike is 89 years old, and in this first evaluation he was guided through a series of physical and functional tests designed to understand how his body currently moves, reacts, and responds to different challenges. What you will see in this video Reaction training with lights Mike reacts as quickly as possible to visual stimuli, allowing us to observe reaction speed, attention, and coordination under pressure. Coordination and strength exercises inspired by Animal Flow Through ground-based and standing movements, we observe how Mike moves, transitions, stabilises, and stretches, giving valuable information about whole-body functionality. Agility and coordination through games Using simple but effective movement games, we assess speed of execution, hand–eye coordination, ball control and catching ability, as well as the ability to change direction and respond quickly. Floor-to-standing movements Mike goes down to the floor and returns to standing, helping us assess functional strength, coordination, confidence, and real-life movement capacity. Short agility course A timed movement pathway is used to observe speed, control, balance, and decision-making while moving. Cardio and respiratory capacity Specific exercises allow us to observe cardiovascular response, breathing control, and endurance during physical effort. Balance and stability tests Different balance situations help us understand postural control, stability, and confidence while standing and moving. Upper-body strength and functional stability Simple strength tasks are used to observe arm strength, control, and how upper-body strength integrates with posture and balance. Flexibility and mobility Specific positions and movements are used to assess joint mobility, range of motion, and overall comfort in movement. Why this assessment matters This initial assessment provides a clear starting point. Every two to three months, Mike will repeat some of these tests. This allows us to compare results over time, observe improvements in strength, balance, coordination, and confidence, and understand how effective the Empowered Ageing training system is for people as they age. This case study is not about comparing Mike with others. It is about progress, dignity, and real functional improvement. Follow the full case study This video marks the beginning of Mike’s journey. By following the full case study, you will be able to observe his progress over time and the real impact of the Empowered Ageing training approach.
