Brief summary

1. / evaluation of the fear of falling using an FES-I questionnaire, distribution of subjects according to the score into 3 groups (16-19: little concerned by the fear of falling, 20-27 moderately concerned, 28-64 very concerned by fear of falling) 2. / evaluation of lumbar articular mobility by the schober index, coxofemoral by hip goniometry in flexion and extension (no evaluation of other amplitudes because lack of abduction / abduction / external and internal rotation of the hip remain functional in walking and the balance)
