Post-fall Syndrome Clinical Trial
Official title:
Post-fall Syndrome of the Aged Person : Contribution of SAFEWALKER for Rehabilitation
The main objective of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of the use of the robot "SAFEWALKER" complement classical rehabilitation in a group of elderly patients over 70 years during the rehabilitation of post-fall syndrome.
The post-fall syndrome is an acute functional complications of falls that affects nearly one
in five elderly fallers. It combines phobia of the previous vacuum, axial and hypertension
astasia abasia.
Unrecognized and untreated, it progresses to a major regressive syndrome, severe physical,
psychological and social implications. Only an early rehabilitation for an early resumption
of walking, prevents such a development.
The main element is to support and encourage the subject to walking. In practice, it was
found that the physiotherapist can not be present daily and the duration of its intervention
is often short-lived.
This study will examine the contribution of a medical device of a walking aid (SAFEWALKER the
robot) in the rehabilitation and empowerment of seniors with a post-fall syndrome. The
SAFEWALKER, which is a walking aid device (http://www.safewalker.com), completes the support
action exercised by a third person, by reducing support and securing travel. It allows the
subject to move alone at will and is a continuity in relation to the management of the
physiotherapist, a potential source of motivation.
The hypothesis is that the SAFEWALKER device can be complementary to the walking
rehabilitation in post-fall syndrome.
