Summary

Falls, especially in the older people, are frequent with potential serious consequences. The strategy for preventing falls involves detecting the fall risk. Current tests to determine the risk of falling are too late indicators of gait disorder. Loss of gait dissociation is an element associated with the mechanism of the fall and appears earlier. Its diagnosis is particularly important as it is a reversible impairment if rehabilitation interventions can be proposed to correct this anomaly.

Detailed description

The purpose of this study is to validate the device's measurement of belt dissociation in a discriminating manner between fallers and nonfallers.
