Mobility test protocols for the elderly: a methodological note
European Journal of Translational Myology, 2015 Consequences of falls are a major health problem in elderly. Poor balance is the precursor of falls and balance impairment has been evidenced after an injury. On the other hand, balance and stability can be improved with training. At the beginning of the
