Clinical Trial Summary

The objective of this study is to determine which gait parameters measured at home using e FeetMe® Insoles are associated with a risk for falls in a patient population suffering from osteoporosis and a higher with high risk of fractures and falls. Each patient will be asked to go to 3 visits at the Cochin hospital, and to wear the soles after each of these visits during 3 days, at home, to record the data, so that it reflects walking patterns of the patient in his/her daily life and activities. At the eachvisit, clinical tests to assess fall risk will be performed (Timed Up and Go test, one foot stance, Short Physical Performance Battery and 6 minutes walking test ). The patients will be supplied with a pair of FeetMe® Monitor Insoles, return home and walking parameters will be recorded for 3 to 10 consecutive days.
