Identifying Risk Factors for Falls in Patients With a High Risk of Fracture Using Connected Insoles (FeetMe Monitor® Device)

The objective of this study is to determine which gait parameters measured at home using e FeetMe® Insoles are associated with a risk for falls in a patient population suffering from osteoporosis and a higher with high risk of fractures and falls. Each patient will be asked to go to 3 visits at the Cochin hospital, and to wear the soles after each of these visits during 3 days, at home, to record the data, so that it reflects walking patterns of the patient in his/her daily life and activities. At the eachvisit, clinical tests to assess fall risk will be performed (Timed Up and Go test, one foot stance, Short Physical Performance Battery and 6 minutes walking test ). The patients will be supplied with a pair of FeetMe® Monitor Insoles, return home and walking parameters will be recorded for 3 to 10 consecutive days.

To assess how a walking speed decrease at baseline during a 6MWT as measured by the connected Insoles, connected insoles devices, has an effect on risk of fall in subjects with osteoporosis.

Inclusion Criteria: male and female subjects aged 60 years and above with a high fracture and fall risk defined by osteoporosis (low-trauma fracture within the last 5 years and/or osteoporotic bone density) a fall within the last year, who own a smartphone. Exclusion Criteria: cognitive deficit or concomitant disorder limiting communication or participation in the study simultaneous participation in another study deprivation of liberty due to a legal or administrative decision patients receiving psychiatric care adults beyond the age of majority under legal protection measures or unable to express their consent patients admitted to a health or social establishment for reasons other than research.
