Filter by:The post-fall syndrome or psychomotor disadaptation syndrome can be considered as a complication of a fall and can lead to a total loss of autonomy. This syndrome remains little studied, despite its important frequency in acute geriatric services or geriatric rehabilitation care, and despite its recognized seriousness. Decreased grip strength seems to be a risk factor for psychomotor disadaptation syndrome in after a fall, which is why we hypothesize that muscle strengthening adapted to the elderly subject would limit the appearance of this syndrome. By limiting this risk, it would reduce complications such as loss of functional independence, but also reduce the number and duration of hospitalization of elderly patients.
