Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: (1) Men and women (2) >59 years of age (3) inpatient acute-medical care

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: (1) blindness (2) deafness (3) severe dysphasia (4) no written informed consent (5) diagnosis of dementia or evidence of cognitive impairment (positive Mini-Cog Test) (6) contraindication for mobilisation (7) isolated for infection (8) death imminent (9) not german speaking (10) in a state of coma or severe reduction of vigilance (11) acute severe organ failure (12) acute severe psychatric condition (13) all other medical/mental conditions that could lead to a further detoriation of health due to a mobility examination, or that would stress the patients in an unacceptable way.

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Construct validity: Hypothesis-testing of correlations between the index tests (DEMMI and HABAM) and other mesures of mobility (e.g. Timed Up And Go, Short Physical Performance Battery, Tinetti Test, Functional Ambulation Categories).	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
1) Test-retest reliability (correlation between 2 test results = Intra-Class Correlation Coefficient [ICC]) 2) Inter-rater reliability (correlation between 2 test results = Intra-Class Correlation Coefficient [ICC]) 3) Responsiveness: Hypothesis-testing of assumed correlations between change scores of the index tests (DEMMI and HABAM) and the reference tests. Area under the curve (AUC) with respect to the real occurence of change in mobility (yes/no). 4) Interpretability: Floor- and ceiling effects will be reported descriptively. 5) Unidimensionality: Rasch-Analysis.	—
