Falls, especially in the older people, are frequent with potential serious consequences. The strategy for preventing falls involves detecting the fall risk. Current tests to determine the risk of falling are too late indicators of gait disorder. Loss of gait dissociation is an element associated with the mechanism of the fall and appears earlier. Its diagnosis is particularly important as it is a reversible impairment if rehabilitation interventions can be proposed to correct this anomaly.
The purpose of this study is to validate the device's measurement of belt dissociation in a discriminating manner between fallers and nonfallers.

Dissociation measure of pelvic and scapular girdles by 2 inertial sensors of accelerometer type (IMU BNO055) during a 10 m walking test
Walking parameter measured during a 10 m walking test with GaitRite device

Saint-Etienne, France
measure of position of the pelvic and scapular girdles
The position of the pelvic and scapular girdles will be measured by the angle (in degrees) between the two girdles C7 and L5 in the sagittal plane during a 10 meters walking test. The angle will be measured by two inertial sensors of accelerometer type (IMU BNO055).
Time frame: During walking test

Composite outcome : measurement of various walking quantitative parameters
Composite outcome will be measured with the following quantitative parameters using the GAITRite device: the parameters of walking speed (m/s), variability (%), length (m), width (cm), symmetry (m), cadence (steps/min) and step cycle time (s).
