And if they've lost muscle mass, that means things that were once lighter or just getting up out of the chair as you did becomes just a little bit more difficult.

So we take a lot of it for granted because it doesn't look like it's changed, but it has.

Loss of muscle, coordination, and we're going to make it a little bit worse as we go along.

Yeah, don't fall over.

Yep, now we're going to start getting interesting.

So Lauren, what are we putting on now?

So what you're looking at is a harness with a number of bungee cords.

Okay.

And the bungee cords are not to make you more flexible.

Actually, each one is a certain level of reducing your gait, that is, your walk.

Yeah, so suddenly the span that you're going to be able to walk is going to be a little bit more resistant or less.

It's not that you're not going to be able to fight it, but it's going to start to wear you out.

Basically, the way we like to think about it is that what we're adding to you is a certain amount of friction of an environment, interaction with everything from chairs to kitchen, whatever it is, but friction, fatigue, and then often what you'll see in their face is frustration.

because you remember what it was like to be easy why am i fighting with this or having difficulty moving because you remember what it was like to be seamless and smooth and now it's suddenly getting a little slower a little bit more difficult and frankly a little bit more frustrating so you said three f's there yep the friction yeah the fatigue and the frustration

A little frail, exactly.

He's not cranky.

He's dealing with a lot that you can't see.

And he remembers what it was like not to have to manage that.
