Overview
Brief Summary
This study aims to evaluate the feasibility and the impact on physical performance and falls occurence among geriatric inpatients hospitalized in acute care unit.
Detailed Description
Having developed many tools to determine fall risk of 65 years and older patients, Angers University Hospital plans to develop a corrective action to prevent the occurrence of falls in this population. This study aims to assess the feasibility of a physical activity program with 3 difficulty levels (depending on the patient's risk of falling): easy (low fall risk), moderate (average fall risk) and difficult (high fall risk). The implementation process should be simply and fastly applicable in practice for routine care by paramedics.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Number of participants in each category of fall risk having realized 75% and more of the exercises of at least one of the three difficulty levels of the physical activity program
Time Frame: up to 15 months
The feasibility of the interventions of each fall risk category is defined as "at least 80% of the participants of a category having completed 75% and more of the exercises".
Secondary Outcomes
- Measure (by the medical team) of the difficulty to set up and carry out the exercises(up to 20 days)
- Change of number of patients having realized the Five Time Sit and Stand (FTSS) test.(up to 15 months)
- Time needed by the paramedical team to achieve the exercises(up to 20 days)
- For the patients having achieved FTSS test, the realization time (in seconds).(up to 60 seconds)
