Evaluation of a T-shirt "Balance" Containing Ceramic Fibers — Equi-tee-shirt  

Geriatrics Clinical Trial

Official title:
Pilot Study for the Evaluation of a T-shirt "Balance" Containing Ceramic Fibers

Clinical Trial Summary

Falls are frequent and often serious events in the elderly. The consequences of falls are often severe: traumatic (fractures, hematomas, ..) and psychological. Falls are among the top ten causes of death in this population and, for people older than 70, falls are the leading cause of accidental death.

The Damart company has developed a fabric containing ceramic fibers. Clothes containing such fibers have been found to improve balance.

This study aims to measure the effect of a t-shirt with a ceramic membrane ("ceramic" t-shirt) on the balance and walking compared to the effect of a "placebo" t-shirt (same weight, appearance and texture).

The hypothesis is that wearing the ceramic tee-shirt significantly improves balance and walking, suggesting that it can also reduce falls - the main consequence of the balance and walking disorder.
