What this Trial Is About
Footwear is one of the extrinsic factors that can cause falls in older adults. Indeed, ill-fitting or worn shoes or slippers that do not support the foot properly, have slippery soles or high heels can contribute to falls. The quality of footwear is a modifiable risk factor that must be addressed to reduce the risk of falling. Therefore, examining the feet and assessing footwear are an integral part of the clinical evaluation of older adults at risk of falling, Older patients are advised to wear shoes and to limit the use of slippers or slipper socks, which do not provide adequate support for the feet and may increase the risk of falls. In this regard, in November 2020, the French National Authority for Health (HAS) published best practice recommendations entitled "The feet of older people: medical approach and podiatric care." INNOTHERA Laboratories recently designed a new line of shoes, called CHUT OTONOM®, featuring a patented outsole whose effectiveness in terms of stability has been proven in healthy subjects.
