Detailed Description

This study concerns elderly person aged more than 65 years with autonomous mobility.

It is a multicentric randomized trial in two arms :

Arm one : remote consultation then physical consultation Arm two : physical consultation then remote consultation

Consultations consist to take a Five Times Sit To Stand test, in physical consultation with physiotherapist in the same room and in remote consultation with a physiotherapist in the next room to the patient.

Tests are realized at baseline after randomization. The test with best time will be considered for analysis.

Once the 2 tests have been carried out, a satisfaction survey will evaluate the preference between the two tests for each patient.

Patients will be re-contacted by telephone at 3, 6 and 12 months post-inclusion to collect the number of falls.
