Falling is a major trauma that can occur with aging, leading to very significant psychological and physical health effects with financial and societal consequences. It is therefore essential to explore therapeutic treatments that can reduce this risk. Some recognized effective treatments exist, concerning in particular the re-education of the muscles of the lower limbs. However, to our knowledge, none of them focus on the cervical spine although the latter is located at an essential physiological crossroads. Manual therapy, which has already demonstrated its impact on pain and balance parameters in the elderly, could be a painless and non-invasive tool of choice in addressing this problem.

Primary | change of SPPB (Short Physical Performance Battery test) score at day 0 after 1 intervention | The subject will then be asked to stand up and perform the different steps of the Short Physical Performance Battery test following the instructions of the evaluator, leading to a score between 0 (worse score) and 12 (best score) | at Day 0 before and immediately after intervention in both groups | |
Primary | change of SPPB (Short Physical Performance Battery test) score at day 7 after a second intervention | The subject will then be asked to stand up and perform the different steps of the Short Physical Performance Battery test following the instructions of the evaluator, leading to a score between 0 (worse score) and 12 (best score) | at Day 7 before and immediately after intervention in both groups | |
Primary | SPPB (Short Physical Performance Battery test) score at day 21 | The subject will then be asked to stand up and perform the different steps of the Short Physical Performance Battery test following the instructions of the evaluator, leading to a score between 0 (worse score) and 12 (best score) | at Day 21 in both groups before the intervention for sham group | |
Primary | change of walking speed at day 0 after 1 intervention | The subject will performed a 4m gait measurement | at Day 0 before and immediately after intervention in both groups | |
Primary | change of walking speed at day 7 after a second intervention intervention | The subject will performed a 4m gait measurement | at Day 7 before and immediately after intervention in both groups | |
Primary | walking speed at day 21 | The subject will performed a 4m gait measurement | at Day 21 in both groups, before the intervention for sham group | |
Secondary | change in Heart Rate Variability at day 0 after 1 intervention | Participants will be equipped with a heart rate monitor (Polar RS800) and a heart belt to collect HRV. The watch will be placed on the subjects' wrists and the belt on the chest (under the pectoral muscles for men and under the bra for women). The skin under the sensor will be slightly moistened to ensure good electrical contact and to avoid artifacts. The belt must be tight enough to ensure that the sensor is in perfect contact with the skin but must remain comfortable. Thus, a total recording time of 5 minutes, in the supine position and with spontaneous breathing, will be performed on each patient. | at Day 0 before and immediately after intervention in both groups | |
Secondary | change in Heart Rate Variability at day 7 after the second intervention | Participants will be equipped with a heart rate monitor (Polar RS800) and a heart belt to collect HRV. The watch will be placed on the subjects' wrists and the belt on the chest (under the pectoral muscles for men and under the bra for women). The skin under the sensor will be slightly moistened to ensure good electrical contact and to avoid artifacts. The belt must be tight enough to ensure that the sensor is in perfect contact with the skin but must remain comfortable. Thus, a total recording time of 5 minutes, in the supine position and with spontaneous breathing, will be performed on each patient. | at Day 7 before and immediately after intervention in both groups | |
Secondary | Heart Rate Variability at day 21 | Participants will be equipped with a heart rate monitor (Polar RS800) and a heart belt to collect HRV. The watch will be placed on the subjects' wrists and the belt on the chest (under the pectoral muscles for men and under the bra for women). The skin under the sensor will be slightly moistened to ensure good electrical contact and to avoid artifacts. The belt must be tight enough to ensure that the sensor is in perfect contact with the skin but must remain comfortable. Thus, a total recording time of 5 minutes, in the supine position and with spontaneous breathing, will be performed on each patient. | at Day 21 before the intervention for sham group | |
Secondary | change in cervical range of motion at day 0 after 1 intervention | the patients will be seated in a neutral position, with their backs against the back of the chair, and will perform the cervical range of motion tests. For this, the experimenter will use the anatomical points previously identified: ear tragus, chin symphysis, anterior angle of the acromion, sternal incisure. The subject will be asked to perform movements of flexion, extension, right rotation, left rotation, right tilt, and left tilt, returning to the neutral position each time. All movements will be performed 3 times. The measurement will retain the difference between the neutral position and the maximum position of the movement | at Day 0 before and immediately after intervention in both groups | |
Secondary | change in cervical range of motion at day 7 after the second intervention | the patients will be seated in a neutral position, with their backs against the back of the chair, and will perform the cervical range of motion tests. For this, the experimenter will use the anatomical points previously identified: ear tragus, chin symphysis, anterior angle of the acromion, sternal incisure. The subject will be asked to perform movements of flexion, extension, right rotation, left rotation, right tilt, and left tilt, returning to the neutral position each time. All movements will be performed 3 times. The measurement will retain the difference between the neutral position and the maximum position of the movement | at Day 7 before and immediately after intervention in both groups | |

All movements will be performed 3 times. The measurement will retain the difference between the neutral position and the maximum position of the movement | at Day 21 before the intervention for sham group | |
Secondary | change in cervical muscle strength at day 0 after 1 intervention | the cervical strength tests will be performed seated too, using a manual dynamometer (Micro FET2, Hoggan, Salt Lake City, USA). To obtain the maximum isometric force of the neck muscles in the 6 movements, a "make test" will be performed: the experimenter will resist the subject's force without trying to exceed it. The subject will be asked to perform progressively and as hard as possible, from the neutral position, a flexion movement (resistance applied under the chin), an extension movement (resistance applied to the back of the occiput), a right and left rotation movement (resistance applied along the horizontal side of the right and left mandibles), and a right and left tilt movement (resistance applied above the right and left ears). | at Day 0 before and immediately after intervention in both groups | |
Secondary | change in cervical muscle strength at day 7 after the second intervention | the cervical strength tests will be performed seated too, using a manual dynamometer (Micro FET2, Hoggan, Salt Lake City, USA).
