Clinical Trial Summary

Some authors suggest a possible clinical interest of anti-slip socks. The scientific literature presents studies with methodological limitations. It is therefore not currently possible to judge the specific interest of anti-slip socks in an elderly hospitalized population. The investigatorswould therefore like to know the interest of wearing non-slip socks in the management of these patients, and more particularly on the main objective of rehabilitation in geriatric physiotherapy: motor function.

Description:

Some authors suggest a possible clinical interest of anti-slip socks. The scientific literature presents studies with methodological limitations, but above all a different population than the one the investigators are interested in. It is therefore not currently possible to judge the specific interest of anti-slip socks in an elderly hospitalized population. Evaluating the value of these socks could allow to recommend them with solid data. Preventing this iatrogenic loss of autonomy would have a positive impact on the motor capacities of patients, a quicker and easier return home, and a reduction in health costs. The investigators would therefore like to know the interest of wearing non-slip socks in the management of these patients, and more particularly on the main objective of rehabilitation in geriatric physiotherapy: motor function.
