This study aims to evaluate the feasibility and the impact on physical performance and falls occurence among geriatric inpatients hospitalized in acute care unit.
Having developed many tools to determine fall risk of 65 years and older patients, Angers University Hospital plans to develop a corrective action to prevent the occurrence of falls in this population.
This study aims to assess the feasibility of a physical activity program with 3 difficulty levels (depending on the patient's risk of falling): easy (low fall risk), moderate (average fall risk) and difficult (high fall risk).
The implementation process should be simply and fastly applicable in practice for routine care by paramedics.
