Summary

Every year, a considerable number of older people fall, with a variety of consequences. These falls can lead to hospitalization, with consequent adverse effects on these people, as well as a significant cost to society. The risk factors for falls themselves are well identified, but not those that lead to hospitalizations in older people who all fall. Some risk factors, such as age, cannot be modified. With a view to preventing hospitalizations in older patients who fall, The investigators aimed to identify functional, and therefore modifiable, risk factors for hospitalizations in patients who fall, such as gait parameters. The investigators hope that the results of this study will lead to early identification of the risk of hospitalization in these patients and thus to appropriate rehabilitation as early as possible to limit this risk.
