Fall Risk Assessment With an Innovative Device for Quantifying Gait and Static Balance in Geriatric Consultation

• Status: Recruiting
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 169 (estimated)
• Sponsor: Gérond'if · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 65 Years – 95 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Accepted

Summary

The main objective of this monocentric, non-randomized, prospective study was to evaluate the predictive capacity of a balance score based on spatio-temporal parameters of postural balance.

Detailed description

Patient recruitment will take place at one center. The inclusion period is 6 months and the participation period for each subject will be 12 months with 3 visits: initial visit, telephone visit at 6 months, M12 consultation visit, and the end-of-study visit. Consent will be obtained prior to participation, and the following data will be collected during the visits: Demographic data (age, gender), weight, height, geriatric assessment. Current treatment (molecules, date of introduction, dosage). Biological data: Albumin, Pre-Albumin, Creatinine, Hemoglobin, Vitamin D. Static balance parameters via AbilyCare (static balance test, inspired by the Romberg test, on a balance platform, 30 seconds eyes open then 30 seconds eyes closed). The total duration of the research is 18 months.
