About

Falls in the elderly are the cause of considerable morbidity and mortality and constitute a public health problem with more than 9000 deaths in France among the over 65s following an accidental fall. Many scientific data suggest that regular physical activity has significant and long-lasting beneficial effects on the health of the elderly and is associated with better functional status, a lower risk of falls and improved cognitive functions. However, the attraction to physical activity fades over the years and the reasons mentioned by the elderly for a low practice of physical activity are multiple, the main one being the worsening of their state of health.

The objective of this study is therefore to evaluate the impact of playful, motivating mobility training, stimulating both mobility and cognition, for 8 weeks, on the balance and mobility of elderly people in EHPAD, in particular in conditions of dual-task well known to be at high risk of falling, as well as on the prevention of falls.
