[Preventing falls among frail elderly patients in acute care: The use of non-slip socks. A systematic literature review].

Introduction: Falls among hospitalized frail elderly patients are a worrying, major daily phenomenon.

Context: Inadequate footwear, frequently observed in this population, is one of the main risk factors behind falls. Several hospitals use non-slip socks as a preventive measure.

Sensory reweighting in frail aged adults: Are the balance deficiencies mainly compensated by visual or podal dependences?

Background: Postural control is based on the integration of different sensory inputs. The process of scaling the relative importance of these sensory cues (visual, vestibular and proprioceptive) depends on individuals and creates sensory preferences, leading to sensory dependences when one particular source is preponderant. In this context, the literature showed a frequent visual dependence (visual inputs weighting) in aged adults.
